A remedy for tinnitus could be a simple homeopathic solution. The sounds of tinnitus are annoying. I will explain the options you have to eliminate or reduce the sounds you hear. Did you know that 20 percent of chemotherapy patients suffer from tinnitus after treatment?

Sounds of Tinnitus

The phantom noises that you hear could be:

  • Ringing
  • Buzzing
  • Roaring
  • Clicking
  • Whistling
  • Hissing

The noise may vary in pitch from a low roar to a high squeal. You may hear it in one ear or both ears. Sometimes, the tinnitus can be so loud it interferes with your ability to concentrate or hear actual sounds. It can be present all the time or it can come and go.

The most common type of tinnitus is subjective tinnitus. Only you can hear the noise. It is probably caused by damage to your inner ear. A less common form of tinnitus is objective tinnitus that only your doctor can hear. This is caused by a blood vessel problem or an inner ear bone condition.

Medications That Cause Tinnitus

There are several medications on the list.

  • Chemotherapy agents, especially mechlorethamine and vincristine.
  • Antibiotics such as erythromycin and gentamicin.
  • Diuretics such as bumetanide and furosemide.
  • Quinine medications to treat malaria.
  • Aspirin in high doses.

Treatment for Tinnitus

Medications do not cure tinnitus, but occasionally help with the symptoms. Possible prescription drugs are:

  • Tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline or nortriptyline. There has been some success with these. However, there are side effects that may be unpleasant. They include dry mouth, constipation and heart problems.
  • Alprazolam (Xanax) may help you, but it can make you drowsy.

The FDA has not approved any of these drugs for use for tinnitus. They are off-label uses. Although the FDA has not approved them, there are small studies that show their effectiveness.

Noise suppression is another remedy for tinnitus. There are white noise machines that produce simulated sounds such as ocean waves and falling rain. They are helpful in drawing attention away from the sounds of tinnitus. There are masking devices that you can wear in your ear to suppress the tinnitus.

There are natural remedies for tinnitus. We sell one of them on this web site. It is a formulation of ingredients that you drop into your ear. It should lessen the noise that you hear.
