I am 27, and have tinnitus for over 6 months, reason is unknown. Here are the things I have tried so far:
- Went to every doctor section I could think of. (ENT, Neurology, Brain Surgery, Dentist, Eye, Internal, Physiotherapy, Psychiatry) Done every tests they could offer. 2 MRIs, CT scan, hearing tests, films, blood tests. Only diagnose was 'military neck' from brain surgery. And he said it won't make tinnitus. ENT doctor said it could and criticized brain surgery doctor but I digress.
- Went to do osteopathy, acupuncture, neurotherapy thinking it's physical, paid quite a fortune, didn't help. (haven't visited a chiropractor yet)
- Small things I have tried many, many times: TMJ exercises and massages from youtube, motivationaldoc's and other doctoral youtubers' exercises for tinnitus, started anti depressants thinking it's because of anxiety (Psychiatrist said it may help if so). Took taurine in the morning, drank lemon balm tea and did yoga thinking I have GABA deficiency in my brain. Applied helichrysium oil to back of my ear. Ate dill in the breakfast. Tinnitus focused supplement pills (They mostly contain ginkgo biloba, garlic, zinc and vitamins). And many posture fixing exercises.
None helped. There's still seemingly permanent high pitched beeping sound coming from my left ear.
@Leo Gura if you found something different from the things I tried, I'd love to learn it as soon as possible. This topic is the sole reason I've created an Actualized forum account but I've been watching your videos on and off for 7 years.
Things to do on my list:
- Going to a chiropractor
- Losing weight, (I am a bit overweight and heard that tinnitus statistically happens more on overweight people) consuming less and less sugar and using 'benfotiamine' (For repairing nerve damage caused by sugar)
