Advice on tinnitus - UPDATE
-
FWIW, I've taken boatloads of aspirin off and on thru the years, and acute aspirin-caused tinnitus, seems to have improved. I believe the cofactors mentioned, like glycine, are more important (which aspirin can deplete). So, I wouldn't necessarily drop aspirin if you got your hands on some.

@Kilgore Thank you for taking the time to share these with me. I have looked into jaw exercises on YouTube in the past, and although moving my jaw alters the sound, these manipulations of the jaw didn't help

@LetTheRedeemed Thank you for the links! I really like these podcasts. I've listened to the one you shared but can't understand the name of the drug Georgi is advising for tinnitus.

@Emilia
for sure.
Bromocriptine
Phosphatidylcholine -
@LetTheRedeemed Thank you

Is this a remedy @ThinPicking ?
Ah yea, I can confirm. I've given myself tinnitus and remedied it this way many times. And healed my poor ears from the blistering noise of britain's metal scene.
Just don't take it too far. I'm not a 'no water' person. The goal in restriction (to me), and increasing osmolality of other fluids is to draw structure in to tighter arrangement so you can resume dilution, more carefully, from a better place. You've gotta feel it out. And is the case here, hear it out.
I can also get variance in perception of amplitude and tones by toying around with this. Perception of pace by sabotaging or improving my rate in other ways.
(caveat, maybe I'm completely wrong about this)

@Emilia said in Advice on tinnitus:
I drink a lot of milk (2 L per day).
Do you ever add any salt and sugar to this Emi? And are you drinking this around three "solid" meals ("solid" food itself is a colloid, a sponge, an extremely high viscosity/high osmolality fluid).
I wasn't clear in the text Kilgore copied from elsewhere, but I also separate any bulk of liquid from my meals. I started doing this as a rule years ago when looking at (and literally listening to) the way the stomach digests things (a wild subject itself). And felt a lot better doing it. I just take a sip or two of water after the last bite and wait at least 15 minutes before drinking anything else. No matter how much salt or sugar I might have added to it. And the shorter that window, the more gently I'll sip through it, so as not to disturb what's going on in the distal stomach/proximal intestine.
I waffled about it a bit in various places on RPF. Amazing study here to give you an idea of how the stomach changes form to accommodate various situations.

My GP advised me that there is no cure
Nonsense, naturally.

I did get the vaccine due to flying to the US a few years ago..unfortunately!!
Don't worry about it. Just maybe keep your feet on the ground in future. Lest ye are partial to roulette.
Maybe it muddled RRAS and myocardial function for 6 months at best. Who knows. Who cares. It's behind you.

@ThinPicking Thx. Luckily I dont have tinnitus, but good luck @Emilia

@ThinPicking Hello! Thank you for sharing this with me.
Generally, I drink milk on its own. Ayurveda has a similar principle advising not to drink too much liquid around meal times as it can lower the digestion fire (agni).
I don't add salt or sugar to my milk but I would sometimes have raw honey or medjol dates with it. I take salt whenever I 'need' it. -
@ThinPicking thank you

@Kilgore thank you

Hi Emilia,
Nice to hear the tudca helped! You’re still taking it? I have tinnitus (and hearing loss) now for 15+ years and have tried numerous things but nothing really had a great impact on it. So I was wondering what dosage you used?
