Tinnitus

I have tinnitus for over 10 years, a 8khz sinus I learned to live with it, so it’s not maddening for me. Some people get severe depression from it and could be incapacitating. Last month I went to a ENT doctor specialized in Tinnitus, he told me Tinnitus is an audial allucination and in most cases is not a physical issue, but mental or neural problem. He prescribed me two pills that are used to treat epilepsy and migraine, they are anti-convulsive drugs. Clonazepam and Gabapentine that I’ll have to take for 6 months. The point is to tell the brain it doesn’t exist. It’s well documented on the web and studies say Gingko Biloba is useless against a placebo.

The worst thing about this is that I’ll have to avoid alcohol for 6 months.
Well documented where? Nobody is taking antiepileptics for tinnitus. At least ginkgo biloba is harmless. You can try Hyperbaric O2 therapy though..

Just google. You’ll find several studies.

Gabapentin actually reduces the annoyance and your perception of it, Rivotril can reduce tinnitus though, but there are several reasons for tinnitus, so it’ll be trying and testing.

Studies with 20-30 individes are worthless, but using those drugs for tinnitus is like using xanax for urinary incontinences, you still do it but just don’t care..
 
Gingko Biloba tablets substantially reduced my tinnitus. Took about 3 weeks to work. I've suffered for decades but found this cure a couple of months ago. I take one tablet a day.
Before that, I used to fall asleep with rain or wind sounds from youtube or apps which masked it.
Ordered thank you very much!

Well reading this thread I think it's only me it works for. I'm still taking it, and don't notice the sound for days on end. If I deliberately try to detect it, it's there ..maybe my brain has tuned it out.

I would be very wary of taking ginko biloba.There is no proof it is harmless and trials on rats and mice show a disturbing association with increased rates of liver cancer.
The liver does have to process these sorts of substances and they are certainly not a natural part of our diet.
 
I tried Ginko for about a month , maybe not long enough ? Didn't work , a friend took it for over 3 months , didn't work .
