Tinnutus Awareness Week

At one time or another, almost everyone will experience ringing in their ears. This is common after a night out where the music was loud, after a loud concert, after a football match or after taking certain medications. Currently over 6 million individuals in the UK suffer from tinnitus which is a chronic ringing, whistling, hissing and many other noises in the ears. Here at Kijani Living we care for our readers and have dedicated this blog to Tinnitus and how some nutritional products may help.

Chronic tinnitus can be caused by many factors from medications that damage nerves in the ear, ear infection, ageing and ear wax. It is often caused when there is damage to hair cells in the ears cochlea. Whilst tinnitus is an ongoing problem for many as constantly hearing noises is not a pleasant feeling and currently doctors do not have a cure to tinnitus. One of the simplest approaches is to try and mask the noise as many sufferers say that listening to music, radio or matching the noise in the background can often relieve their tinnitus, although this is still anecdotal evidence.

Currently not enough scientific evidence exists to confirm whether certain botanical supplements work but anecdotal evidence has shown the following supplements to potentially be helpful in managing tinnitus.

Gingko biloba extract was shown to be beneficial in a study in sufferers who were recently diagnosed as oppose to long term sufferers who saw no benefit. As this study showed potential for newly sufferers, it may be a good idea to incorporate this botanical extract

Vitamin B12 has been shown to be beneficial as many tinnitus sufferers are deficient in vitamin B12 and taking a daily dose of vitamin B12 has been shown to reduce tinnitus related symptoms in many sufferers. Why not try our Garden of Life whole food based vitamin B12 in the form of Methycobalamin from fermented yeast.

Lastly but not least why not try our Natures Answer Bio Ear Formula an all-natural; high quality liquid topical product recommended for suffers of persistent ringing and buzzing in the ear. Bio-Ear features a proprietary blend of Bio-Chelated, concentrated herbal extracts that, when synergistically combined, have been shown to help relieve the ringing, buzzing and noise. By nourishing nerve endings in the ear and gently improving circulation and used regularly over-time, has been shown to alleviate symptoms as reported by tinnitus sufferers approximately 85% of the time. 

Remember it’s essential to always seek doctors help if you are suffering from tinnitus to rule out any other condition before taking supplements or herbal extracts. Please consult with your health care professional if you are on any other forms of medication.
