Been wondering ... Does it count as tinnitus if you can ignore it?

I also have tinnitus after taking Metoprolol for BP. I switched to something else, but have read it will never go away completely. I began reading about the possibility of taking supplements for it. The one that has the highest reviews is called; Synapse XT for tinnitus. I started taking, but then after only taking for a couple days, because of other health issues. I'll be having surgery soon, so I don't know when I'll be starting them back up again. You should Google the Synapse XT to see if it sounds any good to you.

Do you believe
Metropolo caused your tinnitus I've been on it for seven years after a quadruple bypass ears started ringing a year later they also think maybe baby aspirin no I Take rosuvastatin 5 mg for cholesterol and it has caused my right ear to start ringing but you never did before I've been on that medication for year-and-a-half I would like to know how you found out maybe Metropolo and what else you're trying now years might be damaged already though.

There is only one independent review of this supplement: https://www.tinnitus.org.uk/tinnitus-and-synapse-xt, which concludes there is no evidence of effectiveness.
Every other "review" or warning that comes up in a Google search is a direct or disguised advertisement.
How to tell the difference:
It’s probably a REVIEW if:
-done by an organization, government agency or independent lab with no connection to the seller, and it says so
-compares two or more similar products
-doesn’t contain direct link(s) to purchase any of the products
It’s probably an ADVERTISEMENT if:
-The review is published by the manufacturer or seller
-Only one product is reviewed, and there is no evidence the reviewer is independent of the seller
-There is a big photo of only the single product being reviewed
-There is a link to click on the page to purchase the item
It is DEFINITELY an ad if it meets all of the above criteria and pretends to be a “warning”
It is just so hard to know what to believe these days - I consider myself pretty internet savvy, and I got bitten by 2 scams this summer.
