ON or OFF the TINNITUS RING LIST, JUST FREEPMAIL ME!..........................

Q: I wanted to share my experience with tinnitus. It's not incapacitating, but it is annoying. I found something that helps by serendipity.
My wife has hair loss. She takes levothyroxine (Synthroid) and liothyronine (Cytomel) because her thyroid was removed via radiation. She also takes biotin to lessen her hair loss.
I'm bald on top, but I thought I'd see if biotin would help grow new hair. It didn't.
What DID happen with the very first dose was total elimination of my tinnitus! A few hours after I take the biotin, the tinnitus returns, but at a much lower intensity.
A: Tinnitus is the perception of noise that no one else can hear: buzzing, whining, chirping or clicking noises. It becomes more common with age, as the nerves in the ear deteriorate, or it may be associated with noise-induced hearing loss.
Some people take biotin to improve nail strength. We were unable to find research linking biotin to tinnitus management, so you may have stumbled on something. This water-soluble B vitamin is considered reasonably safe. ====================================================================================================
Biotin Treatment Biotin, also known as vitamin H or coenzyme R, is a water-soluble B-vitamin. It is composed of a ureido ring fused with a tetrahydrothiophene ring. A valeric acid substituent is attached to one of the carbon atoms of the tetrahydrothiophene ring. Wikipedia Formula: C10H16N2O3S Molar mass: 244.31 g/mol IUPAC ID: 5-[(3aS,4S,6aR)-2-oxohexahydro-1H-thieno[3,4-d]imidazol-4-yl]pentanoic acid Melting point: 449.6°F (232°C) Soluble in: Water May treat: Alopecia, Inborn error of metabolism, Vitamin b deficiency May prevent: Nutritional and metabolic diseases

TWO RINGY DINGYS!................
Biotin is available EVERYWHERE!......................
Put me on the list. This drives me nuts.
I will give this a shot immediately.
Thanks I’m going to try it.
Dang! Now I've got a ringing in my browser. ;^)
Please add me to your list.
Excellent
Bioflavonoids have worked for me but biotin is cheaper
“Someone answer the damn phone!!”
DONE!.....................
I do a multi and it contains 30mcg of Biotin.
What is the dosage that caused your Tinn to stop or back off for a while?
Thank you for the information.
I thought this might interest you.
Earlier this year they published results of a study that suggests high doses of biotin might help those with Progressive forms of Multiple Sclerosis.
I have MS, and this made quite a buzz on the MS forums. Here’s the abstract from the study.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25787192
Is tinnitus considered a neurological sign/symptom? If so, your “discovery” would fit with the findings from this study.
I’ve been taking biotin for a couple of years and though it helps with the hair loss and strengthens my nails, it hasn’t done a thing about my tinnitus. Ringy, ringy, ringy 24/7. :-(
That helps my muti with 30 mCg of Biotin aint even close......
I think typical is 5,000-10,000mcg
Yes, Tinnitus is due to damaged cilia hair-like nerve endings, in the inner ear’s semi-circular canals.................
oh no the conversion thing again.....kidding,thanks
Wasn’t mine, was a person in Bradenton, FL......................
The connection may not be as strange as one might think...Tinnitus is a nerve disorder, and biotin helps rebuild and grow nerves
For those of you who suffer, sometimes the ringing is so damned loud, everybody in the room and out in the hall should be able to hear it. It is just your brain’s way of filling up “empty space” with SOME kind of input. Even if it is self-generated.
