Reverse Ringing in the Ears

Years ago I had such severe ringing (tinnitus) in my ears that I’d joke it sounded like a symphony when my head hit the pillow at night.  That’s all gone now.  It’s been a long time since I’ve heard the ringing or buzzing in my ears.  But many people suffer with this miserable symptom every day.  There are a number of things you can do to stop the noise.

Here are some natural remedies that work:

Avoid Caffeine

Caffeine can reduce the blood flow to the head, neck and ears constricting capillaries and other small blood vessels. This can, in turn, aggravate your tinnitus symptoms.

Low Salt (use only sea salt) High salt intake can raise blood pressure, causing tinnitus and hypertension. If you are susceptible to the effects of sodium, reducing your salt intake is an important step in helping to lower your blood pressure and possibly reduce the intensity of the ringing in your ears.

No sugar:  I had ringing in my ears until I stopped all sweets.

Supplements that Help

Ginkgo biloba

Ginkgo biloba helps increase blood flow to the neck, head and brain. Additionally, it reduces inflammation in blood vessels, promoting better circulation to the capillaries feeding the nerves surrounding the ear. Taking ginkgo is not a fast fix for tinnitus, and it takes time to relieve the problem. It’s best to use it in combination with other remedies to relieve ringing or other noises in the ears from tinnitus.

CoEnzyme Q10 (CoQ10)

Previous clinical trials were conducted to ascertain the effects of CoEnzyme Q10 on patients with tinnitus. In 2007, the journal of Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery reported that CoQ10 may be helpful for certain people for reducing noises in the ears from tinnitus depending on the nature of their condition. Additionally, chiropractor Dr. James Fettig recommends taking CoQ10 to relieve tinnitus symptoms. He discusses how the supplement generates energy in cell mitochondria helping to prevent heart attacks and strokes as well as ringing in the ears by increasing overall blood flow. He recommends 200 mg of high potency, highly absorbable CoQ10 daily.

Lemon flavonoid  There have been several studies with lemon flavonoids regarding ear disorders.  Juice lemons and take a supplement.
