      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

                    I have had tinnitus, dizziness and a feeling of fullness in the ear now for a while but it comes and goes, and I definitely notice that fluid retention in general affects it. When I'm all dried out (and weigh less on the scale), my hearing is perfect and everything is fine. When I start adding water weight, tinnitus gets worse and sense of balance gets worse.

                    Apparently endotoxin can cause fluids to leak into the inner ear, but fluid balance seems important too. The first time I experiences the dizziness was when I tried the potato hack and consumed tons of potassium.

                    The standard treatment for Meniere's disease (dizziness, tinnitus, sense of fullness in ear) is diuretics, so clearly there is something to it.

                      Makes sense to me revenant. I used to struggle with tinnitus a lot after gigs (which also inevitably involved some alcohol abuse). Before RP nudged me to pay closer attention to fluid tonicity and consider why I appear to have solidity. And RPF posters sent me down various rabbit holes on the subject.

                      I think it's all connected. To my mind, fluid dynamics might be shot at a grand unified theory in health. If there can be such a thing. But I don't have it figured out. And I won't ever alone.

                      When a retinal disrespector was talking about perspiration issues on twitter I wondered if they were also chasing a particular kind of structural and therefore metabolic state. Happened on this but went no further with it. Yet.

                          By a lifelong process of elimination, not much is left for me to work on AFAIK.

                          When I'm able to chelate and excrete the lead toxicity that's been with me for a long time, far longer than when I found out about it in 2010, I will know for sure.

                          Maybe the tinnitus is the resonating frequency of having lead embedded in the tissues in my ear canal.

                          In a year's time, I will know.

                            @Abaris Neck position. Try adjusting your pillow(s), turning your head, sitting up and so forth with different positions and see if it gets alleviated that way. If you find some of it fading then capture the peace of the moment rather than continuously trying to hear it again.
