I had a similar problem two years ago. Tinnitus is a condition which is not understood by the medical community its as yet. all I can do is tell you what worked for me thus far. lost weight (top) of my BMI index. No longer a type II diabetic; Started on methocarbamol and Tylenol for pain relief. Out of pocket money spent with Dr. Trevir Berry's oxygen and laser treatment. Researched Dr. Hamid Djaliliaan studies of diet and Tinnitus explanation. Djalilian nailed all of my symptoms which I've experienced the last two years. I had a mild set back this morning (first in a week or two). My tinnitus increased to a level of 60+db. ENTs and Neurologists have yet to place values on these conditions. I've placed values as related to candle power for vision sensitivity, and also decibel values for tinititus. This morning I ate four pieced of pork bacon' which triggered my tinnitus to a confused state and dizziness (60+ db). I took Dr.Trevor Berry's supplements, which include tallow/magnesium/complex D/ and several other ingredient. Dr. Djalilian diet also recommends a strict diet of anti-inflamitory foods. The combination of Dr. Djalilian; a few meds.; with Dr. Trevor Berry's therapy is working for me to regain vision; sound; and taste senses. My friend. Take care of your self, as tenets takes the entire medical community to mange its effects as much of it has yet mot be nailed by the scientific community. Western medicine and insurance does not cover leading edge technologies until proven scientifically by years of studies. Western medicine does not support what works until proven with out a doubt my friend. Take care of your self, as we travel this journey together. I hope what is working for mr gives you some sort of support and help for your condition. Goodby friend for now. I'm beginning to feel much better as my teiinitus has again returned to the 40-50 DB range.
