Re: supplement for tinnitus?

[Guest guest]

just a note...but i was recently investigating causes of tinnitus for my

non-hypo husband....and came across that the sensitive teeth toothpaste with

potassium nitrate can cause this problem for some folks. he uses it...and had

recently changed brands. he stopped it yesterday...and i'm hoping he notices a

difference. i ran across Internet blogs/forums where folks said stopping the

sensitive teeth toothpaste helped their tinnitus within 2-3 days.

Cindi,

Indeed worth mentioning - but sadly not for me!

If you go to News:alt.support.tinnitus you will find thread after thread of

claims and counterclaims. But the end result is that for most people there does

not appear to be a cure.

As I said, I have had since around age 8 - now around 45 years. And never have I

noticed any correlation with anything - except noise.

Sonya,

Originally ringing in the ears - now applied to pretty much any 'sounds' that

are heard but not due to real sounds. Some people hear all sorts of bangs,

whistles, knocks, groans, etc. Mine is pretty classic - very high pitched, a bit

like cicadas.

never found a way to stop it just control it a little bit and I can't remember a

time that I haven't had it.
