Tinnitus remedies?
-
Are there any peaty remedies for tinnitus? I hear a whiz in my right ear at night, sometimes it goes away for months, but now it's been back for a few weeks. It often comes back during stressful times in my life.
I tried some drops of Tocovit, Estroban (in the ear) but it didn’t really help. Actually my ear hurts now.
Should I try cypro? Or anything else? -
@Abaris There is a method of palm cupping your ears and tapping back of a head with index and middle finger.

@Abaris Avoid foods that might be poorly digested, try the carrot salad, vitamin K, cyproheptadine (IdeaLabs has both). More gelatinous soups, broths.

I know Dr. Peat didn’t think much of it, but low dose naltrexone can often get rid of tinnitus and I think is a very safe and useful compound that should be front and center in Peat Land.

Ray Peat has only mentioned tinnitus in relation to hypothyroidism and endotoxin, so addressing that is one way to approach the problem.
Yes, many people have told me that when they were given supposedly the right dose of thyroxin, they began getting symptoms like ringing sounds in their ears and prickly sensations, fairly common symptoms of hypothyroidism but they would start when they would go on thyroxin and when they added T3
I think ear ringing from excitotoxicity might require a different approach. Stuff like magnesium, gelatin/glycine, taurine. I've seen cases where people cured tinnitus by acute use of benzodiazepines or ketamine.
Others talk about mechanical causes like TMJ. My anecdote is that tinnitus worsened after I tried Wim Hof breathing which is excitatory. -
Tinnitus results from electrolyte disturbance in endolymph. Auricular function is extremely sensitive to variations in the constitution of that fluid.
And I don't consider Ray's attributions to hypothyroidism and endotoxin inconsistent with the normalisation of fluid balance.

@Lew yeah I tried it a few times and while it helped to lessen it to an extent it still didn’t go away completely
Anyway, I took NDT again and the tinnitus seems to be gone for now
