Carrots????? Magnesium, B12 and zinc are needed. Rather than carrots, pumpkin seeds are a good source of magnesium and zinc. As for B12, 5000 mcg sublingual B12 lozenges would be good. Acoustic neuromas are mostly hereditary. As for ototoxic medications, quite often they are a factor, which can be worsened with nutritional deficiencies.

It depends on the circumstances and severity. There are enough times that a physician not only doesn't solve a problem, but makes it worse. Modern medicine is much better at treating severe conditions rather than chronic ones. Many physicians know very little about nutrition.
There are some physicians though who try to treat medical problems through the use of supplements and diet modification, and only use prescription drugs as a last resort. Many illnesses are caused by nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, an improper diet, or perhaps intestinal parasites. These are things that many physicians seem to ignore. Of course loud music can cause tinnitus, however those with nutritional deficiencies are much more predisposed to getting tinnitus.
I would think treatment would depend on the cause, that is why i would consult with a real physician, as some of the causes of tinitus can be some very serious issues.
Something else to considered, sometimes medical issues need to be treated within a cetain time period, and if not the condition can be permanent. For example a sudden sensory neural hearing loss, usually coupled with tinnitus...
If one delays proper treatment for such a condition, and opts to grow pumpkins instead....
after about two weeks, the hearing loss is forever.
Get yourself an audio test done, pure tone air and bone. Also get a tympanogram done as well. You may have a temporary conductive hearinging loss, caused by the eustachean tube being closed. The eustachean tube closes often times with alergy flate ups or the common cold, resulting in negative pressure in the middle ear cavity resuting in a conductive hearing loss.
Once the cold has run its course or the allergy reaction has subsided, the eustachean tube will open, and should be back to normal soon after. Google middle ear infection or ottitis media
Is it in both ears or just one ear? If it is in both ears, is it around the same severity in both ears? If you think it is due to an infection, have you tried some natural treatments such as high doses of vitamin c, zinc supplements(sucking on zinc lozenges is good), eating raw garlic(one clove(section) after each meal chewed well)? Do you have fever? Are you very congested? If you are congested, horseradish and cayenne pepper are helpful.
Imo prescription drugs should be a last resort, and not a first choice. Americans consume over 50% of the world's prescription drugs even though we are less than 5% of the world population.
I suggest that you immediately stop taking the Ambien. As for trouble falling asleep, not getting enough sunlight and getting too much caffeine may be the causes,
or at least contributing factors. I usually drink one cup of coffee a day right after I wake up. If I do drink a second cup, it is before noon. Caffeine has a 6 hour half life,
which means it takes 6 hours for the amount of caffeine in your body to be reduced by 50%.
the ear is complex and fragile, and tinnitus can be the result of many different things at different levels. anybody with doubts should go see a doctor. there is no correct alternative.
all the stuff JK1 talked about are nice and all, it's very good to eat more vegetables, so go ahead and eat them if you feel like it. and yes drinking coffee before going to sleep might not help sleeping. and in my case, getting drunk also increases my tinnitus, so maybe no more alcohol? ok I'm feeling pretty confident and I'll say that exercising once a week can also help ^_^. IDK, all those stuff are what we can do when we're healthy just to stay that way. do all those stuff if you like, but after seeing a professional for your problem!
when I break a leg, I don't start drinking more milk and hope for the bone to come back straight on it's own. I go see a doctor who will check if I damaged more than just the bone, and will decide what needs to be done. if I do need more calcium, he will tell me about it. that's his job so hopefully he knows a thing or 2.

While those supplements might not be harmless at all, it's also not proven to actually work against tinnitus/infection (well at least some say, but general consensus is that it is not). A healthy diet and enough exercise are more than enough to keep you fit. Supplements rarely help unless a doctor diagnoses a specific deficiency.
