Magnesium lowered my tinnitus. :)

  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.

 
Bumping this since my tinnitus is getting worse, found this and checked the trial results. Unfortunately there is no statistical analysis but looking at the pre-treatment and post-treatment survey scores for the three tests, magnesium vs. placebo,  it appears that magnesium didn't do much to help, if anything. There are enough anecdotal stories that I think I will still try it though. Couldn't hurt.

Edit: Apparently I shouldn't be trying to interpret these results since it seems it helped after all, assuming this is the same study (both Mayo Clinic):

SUMMARY: "The present study indicated that subjects showed significant improvement in their self-rating of tinnitus with a magnesium supplement of 532 mg daily for 3 months. Further investigations should control for the placebo effect."
