Lipo-Flavonoid for Tinnitus

[Dusty]

Has anyone tried using Lipo-Flavonoid for Tinnitus?  I will not try any supplements without my doctors direction but am curious if this supplement has provided anyone relief.

Thanks for any feedback on this issue.

good luck on getting a doctor to recommend it. they won't. they might be generous and say it can't hurt.

think of it as a food supplement, and just try it without a doctor's recommendation.

It has to be lemon bioflavenoids...people at menieres.org have tried it and many have found it helpful for a number of symptoms, including tinnitus.  Others found no difference.

I have noticed an odd thing...if I squeeze a fresh lemon and grate some peel into the juice, add sugar and make lemonade out of it, my tinnitus gets a bit less about 30 minutes after I drink it. Interesting, yes? But I can't be doing that all day.

But the banshees and jet engine washing machines are still in there.

Thanks for the feedback thornapple.  I have an apointment this week and will be questioning my doctor about this and other supplements that may reduce tinnitus.

There has never been any conclusive proof that Lipo-Flavonoid has any particular bearing on tinnitus.  I've had tinnitus for nearly 24 years and I've tried everything.  However, my neurotologist did recommend Lipo-Flavonoid for balance issues.  Apparently, a heavy dose of Vitamin B coupled with Lemon has a positive affect on the inner ear.  When I took it, I did see some improvement -- I think.  You actually don't need a doctor's recommendation or prescription since it's OTC.  Some people have said that a Vitamin B mega-vitamin works just as well.
