there is a scientific reason why it works but I dont remember what it is.

You have to take the two together. I think it is the vitamin A that helps but you need Zinc to help it. Been awhile since I figured this out

However since your problem is so bad that you have to have tubes replaced it might not help you.

I was diagnosed with tinnitus at Massachusetts Eye & Ear Infirmary,the world’s top hospital specializing in diseases of the eyes,ears,nose and throat.The doctor (an M.D.) said that tinnitus is a symptom,a result,of hearing loss.No mention of vitamin B12 at all.

clarification on a few things: One, take the form methalcobalamin, not the other 2. Methyl is the best form.

Two, a very high percentage of the population has LOW stomach acid, not high. In fact high stomach acid doesn’t even exist. Low acid manifests as ‘high’ by symptoms of GERD and indigestion.

When stomach acid is low you cannot break down your food and supplements and gain the benefits from them. So, supplementing really needs to be done in conjunction with raising acid. This is typically done by supplementing with HCL, which IS stomach acid.

I do have a B12 deficiency and learned a little about it. Something the article does not state (unless I missed it, which is entirely possible) is that a person needs something called "intrinsic factor" in your stomach. This aids in the absorption of B12 and without it, a person can swallow as much of raw liver, red meat or take the vitamins orally as they can and it won't do any good. Intrinsic factor is aptly named. It is intrinsic for the absorption of B12.

Many older people have exhausted their natural sources of intrinsic factor and so they cannot meet their B12 needs through diet. GET THE SHOTS! It makes a world of difference.

I can tell when I go too long between injections. I get more light-headed, I develop a peculiar type of a headache, and the ringing in my ears is deafening! Further, it is very difficult to take too much of B12. It is water soluable. What you don't use, you excrete. HTH.

My hearing has been modified by high explosives, RPG and heavy equipment. At least I can hear more than my ears rigging.

Certain medications can cause tinnitus as well. I’ve had it for ages, and periodically I get the sound of crystal wind chimes tinkling as well. It’s never really bothered me, and doesn’t keep me from sleeping. I’ve run a fan at night in my room for at least 20 years. I worked 3-11 p.m., and sometimes 11 p.m -7 a.m. before I retired, and I had an elderly neighbor downstairs whose druggie son would come over in the middle of the night, knock loudly on her door, and then beg her for money. They tended to get loud, but having the fan on drowned it all out. He finally drove her to the grave, and there was peace at last.

You mean it is simply a B12 deficiency and not years of B-52 engines, or steel shop work, or power plant compressors or shooting riles?

why didn’t someone tell me this (with sign language) years ago!

"yup- mine was from loud loud loud rock music too"

We used to go to dances with live bands every weekend, and I think dancing in front of the loud speakers so often, did a job on my ears. I had earaches a lot when I was a kid, until I had my tonsils out at age 5, and I also had a perforated ear drum when I was in my 20's, so those two things didn't help either. But it should be noted that my hearing is actually worse in the ear that didn't have the perforated ear drum.
