How Magnesium Can Help You Manage Tinnitus.

Tinnitus is common condition that affects many millions of people around the world. It is the perception of sound in the ears or head when there is no external source. Tinnitus can cause ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other noises that can interfere with your daily life and well-being.

There are many possible causes of tinnitus, such as noise exposure, hearing loss, ear infections, medications, stress, and more. However, there is no single cure for tinnitus, and the treatment options vary depending on the individual case and the underlying cause.

One of the factors that may influence tinnitus is magnesium. Magnesium is a mineral that plays a vital role in many bodily functions, including nerve signaling, blood flow, muscle contraction, bone health, and more. Magnesium also supports human hearing and protects the inner ear from damage.

Unfortunately, many people do not get enough magnesium from their diet. According to a 2016 study magnesium intake in the U.S. is known to be well below recommended levels. This may increase your potential risk of tinnitus and other health problems.

In this blog post, we will explore how magnesium can help you manage tinnitus symptoms and improve your ear function. We will also look at the different types of magnesium supplements available and how to choose the best one for your needs.

How Magnesium Can Reduce Tinnitus Symptoms

Magnesium may help reduce tinnitus symptoms in several ways:

• Magnesium acts as a glutamate inhibitor. Glutamate is a neurotransmitter that is produced by the action of sound waves on the hair cells of the inner ear. Glutamate is essential for hearing, but too much of it can cause overstimulation and damage to the nerve cells. This can lead to tinnitus and hearing loss. Magnesium can block the excess glutamate and prevent it from harming the inner ear.
• Magnesium protects against noise-induced hearing loss. Loud noise exposure is thought to be one of the most common causes of tinnitus. Loud sounds can damage the hair cells and nerve fibers in the inner ear, resulting in permanent hearing loss and tinnitus. Magnesium can help prevent or treat noise-induced hearing loss by increasing blood flow to the inner ear, reducing inflammation, and enhancing antioxidant defense.
• Magnesium boosts vitamin D production. Vitamin D is another nutrient that is important for hearing health. Vitamin D helps regulate calcium levels in the body, which are essential for proper functioning of the inner ear cells. Vitamin D also has anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects that can benefit people with tinnitus. Magnesium is necessary for producing vitamin D in the body, so taking magnesium supplements can increase your vitamin D levels and improve your tinnitus symptoms.
• Magnesium reduces stress and insomnia. Stress and insomnia are both common triggers and consequences of tinnitus. Stress can worsen tinnitus by increasing blood pressure, cortisol levels, and muscle tension. Insomnia can make tinnitus more noticeable and bothersome by reducing your ability to cope and relax. Magnesium can help reduce stress and insomnia by calming your nervous system, relaxing your muscles, and improving your mood and sleep quality.

How to Choose the Best Type of Magnesium for Tinnitus.

There are many types of magnesium supplements available on the market, but not all of them are equally effective or suitable for tinnitus treatment. Some things to consider when choosing a magnesium supplement are:

• Bioavailability: This refers to how well your body can absorb and use the magnesium from the supplement. Some forms of magnesium have higher bioavailability than others, meaning they deliver more magnesium to your cells and tissues.
• Side effects: Some forms of magnesium can cause minor but unpleasant side effects, such as diarrhea, bloating, gas, or nausea. These side effects are usually related to the amount of magnesium you take and how fast it dissolves in your stomach.
• Interactions: Some forms of magnesium can interact or interfere with some medications or other supplements you may be taking. For example, magnesium can reduce the absorption of some antibiotics or antacids.

Of all the forms available, magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium threonate are considered to be the best types of magnesium for tinnitus treatment. These forms have high bioavailability, low side effects, and minimal interactions.

• Magnesium citrate: This form of magnesium is bound to citric acid, which makes it easy to absorb and dissolve in water. Magnesium citrate can help with constipation, as it draws water into the intestines and stimulates bowel movements.
• Magnesium glycinate: This form of magnesium is bound to glycine, which is an amino acid that has calming and anti-inflammatory effects. Magnesium glycinate can help with stress, anxiety, insomnia, and muscle pain.
• Magnesium threonate: This form of magnesium is bound to threonic acid, which is a metabolite of vitamin C. Magnesium threonate can cross the blood-brain barrier and reach the brain cells, where it can enhance cognitive function, memory, and mood.

You can start with a low dose of magnesium, such as 100 mg per day, and gradually increase it until you notice an improvement in your tinnitus symptoms or reach the recommended daily intake. The recommended daily intake for magnesium is 420 mg for adult men and 320 mg for adult women.

However, before taking any magnesium supplement, you should consult your doctor, especially if you have any medical condition or take any medication that may affect your magnesium levels or interact with the supplement.

Clean Magnesium L-Threonate.

Summary.

Magnesium is a mineral that can help you manage tinnitus symptoms and improve your ear function. Magnesium can reduce the excess glutamate in the inner ear, protect against noise-induced hearing loss, boost vitamin D production, and lower stress and insomnia.

However, not all types of magnesium supplements are equally effective or suitable for tinnitus treatment. The best types of magnesium for tinnitus are magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, and magnesium threonate. These forms have high bioavailability, low side effects, and minimal interactions.

If you want to try magnesium for tinnitus, you should start with a low dose and increase it gradually until you find the optimal amount for your needs. You should also consider speaking with your doctor before taking any supplement, especially if you have any medical condition or take any medication that may affect your magnesium levels or interact with the supplement.

Magnesium is not a cure for tinnitus, but it may help you cope with the condition and improve your quality of life. If you suffer from tinnitus, you may want to give magnesium a try and see if it works for you.

Tinnitus sufferers may get some benefit from this video where I explain how my disabling Tinnitus has got much worse. I do not want to be some Tinnitus doom and gloom merchant. Rather I want to find a cure or a way to get rid of my terrible Tinnitus which has ruined my life. I have found it quite difficult to cope and have found it difficult to function in daily life. However I still am confident that I will be able to conquer this terrible Tinnitus affliction.

I have been a health professional for over thirty years and I never knew that disabling Tinnitus existed. But over the last two years I found out that it did. I have tried all sorts of things to try and get rid of my Tinnitus please check out some of my other video's. But as yet I have not found the magic cure for Tinnitus.

And have now had to go against my better judgement on taking prescription medications. I have chosen with the help of my GP to take Pregabalin. Pregabalin for Anxiety which I was hoping would help my Tinnitus sounds in my head and ears.

Now on the internet especially You tube there are horror stories about Pregabalin and how people have suffered with terrible side effects, and they make me quiver with fear. And yet my experience has been totally different.(A quick note I am not connected to Pregabalin drug companies).

Any way so far I have found Pregabalin to be almost subtle in its effect even at 300mg per day. And I have had no side effects. I feel quite nice when I take it. It has not done anything for my Tinnitus noises in my head. However it has taken the edge of the anxiety I have felt due to constant Tinnitus 24 hours day and many sleepless nights. So so far I feel ok with taking Pregabalin. Ill let you know how I am managing with Pregabalin in future video's.

HOW I CURED MY TINNITUS DAVID LAM'S STORY

How I Got Better From Tinnitus

How I Got Better From Tinnitus.

David Lam who cured his Tinnitus.

Positive Tinnitus story. You can cure your Tinnitus.

Well this is very encouraging to all of us suffering with Tinnitus. You can defeat Tinnitus after all. In this Tinnitus video David Lam explains how he conquered his awful Tinnitus and is now cured.You can see an update to this video in the link below. 

For those of us that have had to suffer Tinnitus this is very good news. David overcame his Tinnitus condition by using Tinnitus retraining  therapy. 

Tinnitus retraining therapy helps you to work at changing the way you look and think about your Tinnitus. In time you train yourself not to hear the Tinnitus sounds,or ringing in ears.

 Although this Tinnitus therapy is available in most countries you have to pay for it. In the UK where I am based, as far as I can see ,the NHS have now stopped funding this particular Tinnitus therapy. This is a such a shame because those who suffer with disabling Tinnitus or debilitating Tinnitus may be so unwell that they cannot function properly and therefore may not be able to work or have little money to be able to afford it. 

But for me Tinnitus retraining therapy does seem like a good option and something I would like to try myself.( I will let you know how I get on with this later on).

There are other methods to try and combat Tinnitus. Dealing with stress is a major issue when it comes to Tinnitus conditions. And so doing Meditation,Tai chi,Yoga,having body massages and other body based therapies can also help with people that suffer with Tinnitus.

Some people may need to go onto prescription drugs if they are really suffering with debilitating Tinnitus. The doctors may offer antidepressants and or anti anxiety drugs to help reduce stress and thus helping to cope with the Tinnitus sounds in the head and ears.The goal is to de-stress so that the Tinnitus noises slowly decrease and the patient can then get back to a normal life without Tinnitus.

They may also offer prescription drugs for helping people to sleep. Many Tinnitus sufferers have problems with Insomnia and sleeping. There are also natural sleeping aids that can help if Insomnia becomes a problem.

Tinnitus update.

In this video I give a little Tinnitus update as to what I am currently doing to get rid of Tinnitus. Tinnitus treatments. Natural Tinnitus treatments that I am trying at the moment. Of course as mentioned in other videos,there seems to be no quick fix for Tinnitus. So whatever Tinnitus treatments you are going to try, they all do take some time to show any effect. But if you are a Tinnitus sufferer, then you will like me be prepared to try almost any thing to get rid of it. Tinnitus masking. Tinnitus hearing aids. Tinnitus coping strategies. May all help but our ultimate goal is to stop Tinnitus. I am still taking Black seed oil from the Cumin plant in the middle east. And I am taking Herbal tinctures for Chronic Tinnitus. And also Herbal Tinctures for Insomnia. I am growing Wheatgrass and freezing it and taking it daily. Wheatgrass is a fantastic source of many vitamins, live enzymes and minerals that our bodies need to function properly. So I am hoping that this will strengthen my body too. As mentioned in the video I have also gone to a very good Chiropractor today for my fist session .Chiropractic therapy for Tinnitus. May seem strange but some people apparently have cured themselves of Tinnitus with Chiropractic therapy. I continue to search for ways to cure Tinnitus. And like you I want to stop the Tinnitus sounds in my head for good. I am sure that one day soon I will be making a video which explains how I got rid of Tinnitus. Its worth remembering that there are lots of people who have cured themselves through one way or another of Tinnitus. 50 to 60 million Americans suffer with Tinnitus, which is a staggering number of people. But let's hope like me you will be one of the people that finds a Tinnitus cure. Please like this video. Please comment if you have had Tinnitus or are still suffering from it. Please let us all know what your Tinnitus sounds like and what you are doing to try to get rid of it or just to try and live with it. And of course please subscribe to the channel so that it encourages me to make more videos. Also check out https:tinnitusnews.blogspot.com for Tinnitus help and Tinnitus advice. Thank you.

Black seed oil USA:https://amzn.to/2Kt4ejg CBD Oil : http://bit.ly/Topcbdoils Tinnitus book Julian Cowan Hill; https://amzn.to/31KZ9Iv Tinnitus my story, how I got Tinnitus. Tinnitus symptoms and Tinnitus noises. In this video I explain how I got Tinnitus. I also explain what my Tinnitus sounds like. I talk about my Tinnitus experience and how Tinnitus has affected my life. I suffer from disabling Tinnitus,or debilitating Tinnitus and this affects my sleep badly. Tinnitus and Insomnia, go hand in hand and I have been battling with this for a long time. I did get Tinnitus help, from the NHS in UK, however this takes a long time and I do not agree with the doctors that there is no Tinnitus cure. I think there are ways to get rid of Tinnitus. There are many Tinnitus remedies on the market but none of these has helped me with my Tinnitus condition. Although I don't mention it in the video I have tried Tinnitus masking to cover up the Tinnitus sounds,and I was prescribed some Tinnitus hearing aids with built in Tinnitus masking devices. These are invaluable to help me cope with Tinnitus,but you can't wear them in bed when you sleep. So I have to use other headphones to cancel out the Tinnitus noises in my head. I do sometimes need medication to help me sleep ,especially if my Tinnitus is really bad. So after a few nights of not sleeping I do take Lorazepam,and this does work sometimes. I would prefer not to take any prescription medications and so I am now looking at using natural Tinnitus remedies,or alternative ways of getting rid of the Tinnitus. I did try a 7 day juice fast/diet,and this did lessen the Tinnitus sounds in my head a little bit. I really do think that Wheatgrass for Tinnitus will be a good thing to get into and so I am growing this at the moment. I also take Black seed oil, derived from the Cumin plant from the middle east. This is good for balancing blood sugars and so if you are producing to much Insulin this very well may help.I have only been taking this for one month but will do another video about this in the future. And I am expecting a delivery of CBD oil tomorrow to see if this will help me sleep. I will also do a video on the benefits of CBD oil for Tinnitus and Insomnia at a later date. Basically I like many other people are desperate to stop Tinnitus and will try almost any- thing to get rid of Tinnitus. I will of course let every one know if I find something that actually works well. There are also many theories about how people get Tinnitus. Mine being the likelihood of getting Tinnitus by exposure to loud music . But I did live in a house that had a problem with black mould.Tinnitus and mould have be connected by some people. I also think that there definitely could be a connection with a person producing to much Insulin although that is just a gut feeling I have myself. Julian Cowan Hill a Youtuber who makes videos about Tinnitus,says that it is stress that can cause Tinnitus and that meditation,Yoga, Craniosacral therapy can help some people to overcome Tinnitus for good. Liam Bohem another Youtuber that specializes in treating Tinnitus,also believes that stress has a lot to play in getting Tinnitus. He advocates fasting ,dry fasting and water fasting so that the body can repair itself. This does seem to make sense to me too. Any way If you are suffering with Tinnitus I wish you well and hope that my videos may be able to help you and others who are living in hell. There are help forums and help groups locally that can help people with Tinnitus. So just Google, Tinnitus help to see what groups are in your area. Remember you are not alone in fact 50 million Americans suffer with some sort of Tinnitus and that is a staggering number. Please like the video,subscribe for more videos and please leave a comment if you have anything positive to say for others who are suffering with Tinnitus.

Please leave a comment if you found this video useful or if you have any ideas to help people with Tinnitus.

Tinnitus therapies.

Tinnitus Remedies.

                                                                                 

Overview.

Tinnitus is usually described as a ringing in the ears, but it can also sound like clicking, hissing, roaring, or buzzing. Tinnitus involves perceiving sound when no external noise is present. The sound can be very soft or very loud, and high-pitched or low-pitched. Some people hear it in one ear and others hear it in both. People with severe tinnitus may have problems hearing, working, or sleeping.

Tinnitus is not a disease — it’s a symptom. It’s a sign that something is wrong with your auditory system, which includes your ear, the auditory nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain, and the parts of the brain that process sound. There are a variety of different conditions that can cause tinnitus. One of the most common is noise-induced hearing loss.

There is no cure for tinnitus. However, it can be temporary or persistant, mild or severe, gradual or instant. The goal of treatment is to help you manage your perception of the sound in your head. There are many treatments available that can help reduce the perceived intensity of tinnitus, as well as its omnipresence. Tinnitus remedies may not be able to stop the perceived sound, but they can improve your quality of life.

Tinnitus remedies

1. Hearing aids

Most people develop tinnitus as a symptom of hearing loss. When you lose hearing, your brain undergoes changes in the way it processes sound frequencies. A hearing aid is a small electronic device that uses a microphone, amplifier, and speaker to increase the volume of external noises. This can mollify neuroplastic changes in the brain’s ability to process sound.

If you have tinnitus, you may find that the better you hear, the less you notice your tinnitus. A 2007 survey of healthcare providers published in The Hearing Review, found that roughly 60 percent of people with tinnitus experienced at least some relief from a hearing aid. Roughly 22 percent found significant relief.

2. Sound-masking devices

Sound-masking devices provide a pleasant or benign external noise that partially drowns out the internal sound of tinnitus. The traditional sound-masking device is a tabletop sound machine, but there are also small electronic devices that fit in the ear. These devices can play white noise, pink noise, nature noises, music, or other ambient sounds. Most people prefer a level of external sound that is just slightly louder than their tinnitus, but others prefer a masking sound that completely drowns out the ringing.

Some people use commercial sound machines designed to help people relax or fall asleep. You can also use headphones, television, music, or even a fan.

A 2017 study in the journal Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience found that masking was most effective when using broadband noise, such as white noise or pink noise. Nature sounds proved much less effective.

3. Modified or customized sound machines

Standard masking devices help to mask the sound of tinnitus while you are using them, but they have no long-lasting effects. Modern medical-grade devices use customized sounds tailored specifically to your tinnitus. Unlike regular sound machines, these devices are only worn intermittently. You may experience benefits long after the device is turned off, and over time, you may experience long-term improvement in the perceived loudness of your tinnitus.

A 2017 study published in the Annals of Ontology, Rhinology, and Laryngology, found that customized sound decreases the loudness of tinnitus and may be superior to broadband noise.

4. Behavioral therapy

Tinnitus is associated with a high level of emotional stress. Depression, anxiety, and insomnia are not uncommon in people with tinnitus. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps people with tinnitus learn to live with their condition. Rather than reducing the sound itself, CBT teaches you how to accept it. The goal is to improve your quality of life and prevent tinnitus from driving you crazy.

CBT involves working with a therapist or counselor, typically once per week, to identify and change negative thought patterns. CBT was initially developed as a treatment for depression and other psychological problems, but it seems to work well for people with tinnitus. Several studies and meta-reviews, including one published in the Korean Journal of Audiology, have found that CBT significantly improves irritation and annoyance that often comes with tinnitus.

5. Progressive tinnitus management

Progressive tinnitus management (PTM) is a therapeutic treatment program offered by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Tinnitus is one of the most common disabilities seen in veterans of the armed services. The loud noises of war (and training) often lead to noise-induced hearing loss.

If you’re a veteran, talk to your local VA hospital about their tinnitus treatment programs. You may want to consult the National Center for Rehabilitative Auditory Research (NCRAR) at the VA. They have a step-by-step tinnitus workbook and educational materials that may be helpful.

6. Antidepressants and antianxiety drugs

Tinnitus treatment often involves a combination of approaches. Your doctor may recommend medication as part of your treatment. These drugs may help make your tinnitus symptoms less annoying, thereby improving your quality of life. Antianxiety drugs are also an effective treatment for insomnia.

A study published in Medical Science Monitor found that an antianxiety drug called alprazolam (Xanax) provides some relief for tinnitus sufferers.

According to the American Tinnitus Association, antidepressants commonly used to treat tinnitus include:

• clomipramine (Anafranil)
• desipramine (Norpramin)
• imipramine (Tofranil)
• nortriptyline (Pamelor)
• protriptyline (Vivactil)

7. Treating dysfunctions and obstructions

According to the American Tinnitus Association, most cases of tinnitus are caused by hearing loss. Occasionally though, tinnitus is caused by an irritation to the auditory system. Tinnitus can sometimes be a symptom of a problem with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). If your tinnitus is caused by TMJ, then a dental procedure or realignment of your bite may alleviate the problem.

Tinnitus can also be a sign of excess earwax. Removal of an earwax blockage may be enough to make mild cases of tinnitus disappear. Foreign objects lodged against the eardrum can also cause tinnitus. An ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist can perform an exam to check for obstructions in the ear canal.

8. Exercise

Exercise contributes significantly to your overall well-being. Tinnitus can be aggravated by stress, depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, and illness. Regular exercise will help you manage stress, sleep better, and stay healthier.

9. Mindfulness-based stress reduction

During an eight-week course of mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), participants develop the skills to control their attention through mindfulness training. Traditionally, the program was designed to draw people’s attention away from their chronic pain, but it can be equally effective for tinnitus.

The similarities between chronic pain and tinnitus have led researchers to develop a mindfulness-based tinnitus stress reduction (MBTSR) program. The results of a pilot study, which were published in The Hearing Journal, found that participants of an eight-week MBTSR program experienced significantly altered perceptions of their tinnitus. This included a reduction in depression and anxiety.

10. DIY mindfulness meditation

You don’t need to enroll in an eight-week program to get started with mindfulness training. Participants in the MBTSR program all received a copy of the groundbreaking book “Full Catastrophe Living” by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Kabat-Zinn’s book is the premier manual for practicing mindfulness in daily life. You will learn about, and be encouraged to practice, meditation and breathing techniques that can help draw your focus away from tinnitus.

11. Alternative treatments

There are several alternative or complementary tinnitus treatment options, including:

• nutritional supplements
• homeopathic remedies
• acupuncture
• hypnosis

None of these treatment options are supported by science. Many people are convinced that the herb gingko biloba is helpful, however large-scale studies have been unable to prove this. There are many nutritional supplements claiming to be tinnitus remedies. These are usually a combination of herbs and vitamins, often including zinc, ginkgo, and vitamin B-12.

These dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are not supported by scientific research. However, anecdotal reports suggest that they may help some people.

When to see your doctor

Tinnitus is rarely a sign of a serious medical condition. Talk to your primary care doctor if you are unable to sleep, work, or hear normally. Your doctor will probably examine your ears and then provide you with a referral to an audiologist and otolaryngologist.

However, if you are experiencing facial paralysis, sudden hearing loss, foul-smelling drainage, or a pulsating sound in sync with your heartbeat, you should go to your local emergency department.

Tinnitus can be extremely distressing for some people. If you or someone you love is thinking about suicide, you should go to the emergency room right away.

Takeaway

Tinnitus is a frustrating condition. There’s no simple explanation for it and there’s no simple cure. But there are ways to improve your quality of life. Cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness meditation are promising treatment options.
