Thread Starter 
Just an update. I upped my dosage to 1000mg a day. (240%).
No adverse reactions so far and for the first time in pretty much forever, last night, w/o the computer on, AC running or anything, I didn't hear any ringing while I was trying to sleep at night. It was just a dull hiss.

But of course today I had to crank up my hd580's to rock out to some iron maiden...

Thanks for the tip. I’m hoping for some relief so started taking it 2 or 3 weeks ago. I haven’t taken much of any vitamins in a long time but after looking into magnesium it seems like it’s worth a shot.

I’ll give it a solid 90 days before making a judgement but it looks like it should be beneficial even if it doesn’t help the Tinnitus.


Thanks

I've got pretty bad tinnitus in my left ear myself, but I think it probably has more to do with me having two impacted lower wisdom teeth, left one having exploded above the gum line, and two fully grown out upper wisdom teeth that seriously causes some jaw pain when I smile alot during a day. One of these days I really need to get those things yanked, but I just dread the surgery, and I HATE needles.

I'm guessing these remedies are more for if you got tinnitus through high volume damage? I did try gingko once and it caused dizziness so I cut that out. Might be worth trying the magnesium, but it's probably not going to help my case. I'm pretty certain I didn't get my tinnitus from loud volumes, as I've always been a low level listener all my life.

Currently, Mayo clinic is conducting an 11-month clinical trial regarding tinnitus and Magnesium levels. Looking forward to the findings. I've just begun taking Magnesium based on some positive reviews in tinnitus forums. So, I will follow along with the trial to see how I fare. Although the trial is using 532 mg daily, I'm using 30 mL Ionic liquid.

 

Not sure how the two compare. I believe 30mL roughly equates to the 400 mg because virtually all is absorbed by iconic liquid while very little is absorbed of capsules. Don't know how true this is because equating mL to mg is virtually impossible so I'm relying on the manufacturer's claims. Only way to tell is to try it.

I've started taking magnesium oxide (400mg daily) for kidney stones so it's good to know the side benefit will help my tinnitus.

 Well, there you have it. I'll wait 9 more months and keep my fingers crossed for conclusive results!
