<,<a href="http://cheapuggsoutletstore.webs.com">cheap uggs</a>;h1>Vascular Tinnitus Treatment</h1>Tinnitus Treatment Strategies Recently I reported on my newly developing tinnitus and the research that I found out about how to treat it. This is the list of treatments that I found and what you can expect from them. It is important to be clear about what type of tinnitus you have. Wikipedia offers descriptions for two main types of tinnitus: 1) Objective or vascular tinnitus; and, 2) subjective tinnitus (noise-induced damage, also associated with hearing loss). Note that vascular tinnitus is treatable and reversible, whereas subjective tinnitus is due to permanent damage to the inner ear and is not reversible. Focusing on Vascular Tinnitus The reason that I decided that my symptoms indicate vascular tinnitus, and not noise-induced damage, are several: ...I am careful to protect my hearing against noise damage ...I have a vascular flow problem already, showing up as swollen ankles ...The buzz level diminishes overnight, after I have been prone for a few hours ...The buzz level is at its lowest in mornings after I have taken 125 mg of magnesium just before bedtime the night before The most likely source of noise-induced damage for me would have been shooting guns, which I have done for many years. However, damage would have been mainly to one ear, showing up primarily as hearing loss. This is what other hunting buddies of mine have experienced. My general vascular flow problem, as indicated by swollen ankles, is what I call the ‘long-distance flight syndrome' or something like that. It is well-known in travelers who sit nearly immobile in an airplane seat for a few hours at a time. This is what happens to me when I sit for long periods at my desk. CONCLUSION: I have vascular tinnitus, not noise-related damage. This is good news, since that means I can treat it. This, in turn, means that I can experiment with any and all of the tinnitus treatment options that I can find. Fortunately, all such common options are easily accessible and cost-effective. My favorite one is Ginkgo biloba, only because I have some research experience with this herb and I have done extensive literature review of the 1,000-plus research articles on it. Contrary to popular belief and marketing hype, it is not well-supported as a memory enhancer. However, it is effective against two conditions: 1) vascular tinnitus (aha!); and, 2) intermittent claudication (aha again!). The latter is pain caused by a vascular problem in the lower legs. Hmm. Sound familiar? The flavonoids and terpenoids in Ginkgo are well-known to help with strengthening capillary and vein walls, thereby aiding vascular flow. Current Strategy <,<a href="http://pggboots.webs.com">ugg boots</a>;br />I have been supplementing with 20 mg of melatonin nightly for several years, so I have that one covered. I now take a time-released form of magnesium, 500 mg per day in 4 separate doses (to avoid the laxative effect), with double the amount of calcium to balance the two together. I have upped my B-vitamins and at least once a day take B-12, 5000 mcg sublingually (which is more than 80,000 percent of the RDA, meaning that the government-defined recommendation is pathetically inadequate). I've just restarted taking 50 mg of zinc per day, which I had stopped a while ago when I forgot to reorder it,<a href="http://babyuggsclearanceonsale.webs.com">uggs clearance on sale</a>. And I also take vinpocetine once a day (10 mg). All of these are backed by at least some research to show their potential effectiveness in tinnitus treatment. The Ginkgo biloba supplement that I take is an extract that is standardized to 24 percent ginkgoflavones (flavonoids) and 6 percent ginkgolides (terpenes), which is the typical requirement in clinical research. No other kinds of Ginkgo supplements measure up, so don't bother with them if you are going to take this herb,<a href="http://cheapuggbootsclearanceuksale.webs.com">ugg boots clearance</a>. Oh, and be sure to take 240 mg per day. Beware of Vasoconstrictors Anything that causes vascular constriction is more than likely to be a negative impact on vascular tinnitus. How much, nobody knows. The two biggies are nicotine and caffeine. I have cut down my coffee intake to one cup, down from six or more, per day. Decaffeinated coffee has to satisfy my habit after that. Nicotine has never been part of my lifestyle, so I have no worries there. Nicotine, by the way, is the most powerful vasoconstrictor you can imagine. I saw a video once that showed the veins in a patient's hand becoming noticeably constricted only 10 minutes after taking a puff on a cigarette. Next Steps It will take a few weeks to know whether my multi-pronged approach is helping. At some point, if I am not seeing the results that I want, I will add hydergine and extra niacin to my tinnitus treatment program. These are the final two natural ingredients in the list that I have found. If it comes to that, I will also up my B-complex and B-12 intake by converting to injectable forms, since that would be even more effective than the oral B-complex and the sublingual B-12 that I am taking now. So far so good, though. The intensity of my tinnitus seems to be lessening week by week.--Dr. Dennis Clark offers his scientist's perspective on natural approaches to health.
