Controlling Tinnitus: What works for you?
Hello: Has anyone on this site had any luck with controlling tinnitus? I see certain things advertised but always sceptical. Any thoughts/ideas?

I'm 57 yo male. I've had it about 3 years and started the Lipo flavonoids right away. They work pretty well for me. I still have constant ringing of some sort but when I stop taking them it increases about 50 percent or more until I get enough back in my system. I typically take 4-6 per day. I also notice a big increase when I eat a real salty meal and especially when I take a lot of NSAIDS. Stress/anxiety definitely magnify it for me. I have never taken ativan but I have taken several other prescriptions for other issues that have made the tinnitus worse. Gabapentin and Crestor being 2 of them. Just because it isn't listed as a side effect doesn't mean anything as far as I can tell. Praying your problem will clear up without the ativan in your system.
Hearing Aids 3 months ago have helped override my Tinnitus almost 90% . I have significiant hearing loss with Tinnitus. Caffeine & Salty foods tend to make my Tinnitus worse.
Yes, they are difficult to get use too, BUT, worth it!
