Frequently Asked Questions About Tinnitus

Q: How does an effective tinnitus supplement work?

Tinnitus can be caused by inflammation in the inner ear, poor blood flow, nerves, hearing loss, or damage from free radicals or deficiencies. Since it can be nearly impossible to locate the exact cause of tinnitus, a proper tinnitus supplement will address all of these issues. It will have anti-inflammatory ingredients as well as B vitamins for supporting blood cells and blood flow. It will also have herbs for addressing the nervous system elements of tinnitus and the hearing loss aspects.  Additionally, it should have antioxidant-rich ingredients and Zinc, B12, and Vitamin C to reduce deficiencies associated with tinnitus. Some of the ingredients we defined as crucial for a tinnitus supplement include: B Vitamins, Ginkgo Biloba, Vitamin C, Zinc, Bioflavonoids, and Magnesium. 

The correct formula holds the key to success so look for something that contains ingredients backed by scientific data that work to minimize factors that cause tinnitus. The formula should not be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for optimum results. 

Q: Do all tinnitus supplements work?

Unfortunately, they do not all work. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health supplement trends formulating supplements that contain incorrect ingredients and use the wrong potency or amounts. Sometimes, they even add unnecessary inactive ingredients or cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings, and preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients. Do your homework and check the labels to make sure you are taking a quality product and not just some vitamins or herbs haphazardly thrown together. 

Q: What are the important points to look for?

• It should address all factors that could be causing your tinnitus.
• It should contain a high dosage of Citrus Bioflavonoids for antioxidant properties as well as blocking the accumulation of fat in the arteries that supply blood to the head and ears.
• It should contain B Vitamins – the more the better – for supporting the nervous system and blood cells.
• It should have Magnesium in its bioavailable forms improving blood flow through the inner ear.
• It should have Ginkgo Biloba, and other herbs such as Green Tea, for protection from hearing loss caused by noise. 
• It should not contain any binders, fillers, additives, hormones, preservatives, or artificial ingredients.
• It must be 100% pure, natural and with no unnecessary ingredients that could reduce the effectiveness of the product.
• It should be formulated using the same potency as found effective in clinical studies.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course, each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition or are taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for tinnitus supplements?

This differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. If you exceed the suggested dosage you could pose health risks to yourself. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 2 softgels per day. Some people like to take the complete daily serving together at once, but we recommend spacing it out to achieve optimal benefits from the ingredients contained within the formula.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects within as little as a week. Whilst, for others, it can take longer. Everybody is different. Results will vary depending on other factors such as the type of diet you consume, lifestyle choices, and genetic disposition. There were many manufacturers that offered refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in its products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good tinnitus supplement?

The cost of products varies among manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been formulated without any science-based evidence behind them. Some of these companies are selling their products for over $100 per bottle, which is much too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $40-$50 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality or a low recommended daily serving, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which tinnitus supplement is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say specifically which one is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Approved Science Tinnitol. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, Approved Science Tinnitol had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback, and customer service.

Ultimately, the choice is yours. We hope that our research has gone some way in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for a well-researched product that brings effective results, we think that you can’t go far wrong with Approved Science Tinnitol. It is an excellent quality product, with great reviews and is well priced.
