Tinnitus Lipoflavinoid

By Jane On January 7, 2009 7 Comments

Helping to improve circulation in the inner ear for general ear health is one way of making you less susceptible to or reducing the intensity of tinnitus. Lipoflavinoid is one dietary supplement that can help achieve this. It was created in 1961 by DSE Healthcare Solutions for the treatment of Meniere’s disease, and much of the marketing effort for it is directed toward ringing in the ears sufferers.

What are the ingredients of Lipoflavinoid Tinnitus Formula, and what do they do to help people with ringing ears?

Its ingredient include eriodictyol glycoside, vitamin C, the vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12, pantothenic acid, and choline. Eriodictyol glycoside, for instance, can act against histamine, which is found out to play a part in the control of microcirculation in the inner ear. Because it can act as an antihistamine, it can prevent or reduce the symptoms of Meniere’s Disease, which are brought about by the fluctuations of fluid in the middle ear. The notable symptoms of the disorder are vertigo, hearing fluctuation, a sense of fullness in the ears, and of course, ringing in the ears.

There are also sufferers whose cause of their tinnitus is vitamin B12 deficiency, so taking the formula would help supplement the vitamin B12 that those sufferers lack.

While the supplement is helpful in improving overall ear health, it would make a difference if you make use of treatments that would focus on the root cause, help you manage stress, and boost your immune system. Good examples are homeopathic tinnitus remedies, counseling, hypnotherapy, meditation, immune booster formula, and of course, proper diet and regular and proper exercise.

A special diet is also recommended to prevent Meniere’s Disease attacks, which are usually preceded by hearing fluctuation, ear pressure, and tinnitus. Lipoflavinoid or other commercially available treatments should be backed up by a diet that help stabilize the body fluids or blood levels to avoid secondary fluctuations in inner ear fluid. You can follow these steps:

  • Take sufficient amounts of fluid daily, including water, milk, and low-sugar fruit juices.
  • Avoid taking foods or fluids that have high salt or sugar contents.
  • Aim for a diet that is high in fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; minimize your intake of canned, frozen, or processed foods.
  • Distribute your food and fluid intake evenly throughout the day.
  • Avoid foods and drinks that contain caffeine, such as chocolates, coffee, and sodas.
  • Minimize or if possible, avoid your alcohol intake.

Ringing Ears Treatments

By Fritz On December 19, 2008 Comments Off

Fighting against tinnitus usually takes a combination of ringing ears treatments. Because of certain factors to consider, a multidisciplinary approach is deemed necessary. Also, there are no standard tinnitus remedies for it because of these factors. What may have worked for others may not work for you, and vice versa.

One of the factors that need to be considered when looking into ringing ears treatments is the root cause of the ringing in your ears. You see, the unwanted sound is a symptom of an underlying medical condition, so it should be treated according to its cause. The causes vary, from ear disorders to circulatory problems. These include noise-induced cochlea damage, stress, sinus problems or allergies, Meniere’s Disease, age-associated hearing loss, whiplash injury, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), thyroid disorder, vitamin B12 deficiency, high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, and malformation of the capillaries.

To get the appropriate remedy, visit your physician so that he or she can conduct certain tests to determine the root cause of the ringing noise. You need a remedy that focuses on treating its root cause and not just its symptoms, and each of the homeopathic tinnitus treatment remedies does this. Unlike some conventional drugs such as antidepressants, anti-anxiety, and anticonvulsants, the homeopathic remedies do not have side effects.

The other considerations are your ability to manage stress and the state of your immune system. Stress should be managed properly as it tends to trigger or aggravate ear ringing. When you are stressed, you are most likely not to get enough sleep. As known, lack of sleep weakens the immune system, making you more exposed to various infections and diseases that can trigger and increase the symptoms of tinnitus. This can go on a vicious cycle, affecting your overall health.

Counseling, hypnotherapy, biofeedback, meditation, and relaxation therapy are some of the treatments that can help you manage stress. You can also go practical by talking to a friend, walking your dog, reading your book, or any activity that relaxes you. Furthermore, you can boost your immune system by taking an immune booster formula, backed up of course by a healthy lifestyle. When we say a healthy lifestyle, we basically mean having a proper diet, proper and regular exercise, and enough sleep at night.

The combination of ringing ears treatments that you are using may take some time to take effect, so do not get frustrated easily. What you need, more than anything else, is a positive attitude to get you through the whole process of fighting against tinnitus.


Ear Ringing, (T)

By Fritz On December 17, 2008 2 Comments

Tinnitus is known in layman’s term as ear ringing, (T), ringing in the ears, and so on. It can be simply described as a noise that you hear even though there is no external source. The most common sound associated with it is a ringing noise, although it may also come as a different sound. The other sounds associated with it include clicking, buzzing, roaring, gushing, whistling, and chirping.

There are various reasons why you experience ringing in the ears, and these are, in general, medical conditions. Its main causes are noise-induced cochlear damage, stress, sinus problems or allergic reactions, and Meniere’s Disease. Its other known causes include age-related hearing loss, earwax impaction, temporomandibular joint disorder, whiplash injury, muscle tension, vitamin B12 deficiency, thyroid disorder, high blood pressure, and atherosclerosis.

Of these medical conditions, noise-induced cochlear damage is the most common cause of tinnitus. Around 90% of the cases of ringing ears is caused by this condition. And, listening to music with the stereo or MP3 player set to a very high volume and frequently going to very noisy places without wearing an ear protection all contribute to this. You see, the condition can be prevented by listening to music in moderation and by wearing earplugs when going to very noisy places such as pubs, concerts, and construction sites.

It is very important that the root cause of tinitus is determined with a fair degree certain as it will help you find the treatment that is right for you. There are cases, however, when the root cause cannot be determined, so these sufferers may have to make do with some trial and error and see which works for them.

More often than not, fighting against ringing in the ears takes a multidisciplinary approach. You just cannot rely on one remedy as there are various factors to consider. These include the root cause, stress management, and the state of your immune system. A remedy that focuses on treating the root cause, together with the remedies that help you manage stress and boost your immune system, should be made use of.

The remedies known to focus on treating the root cause of the unwanted sound are homeopathic tinnitus remedies. They are considered natural and safe and do not have side effects. On the other hand, the remedies that help manage stress include counseling, hypnotherapy, meditation, and relaxation therapy. Furthermore, boosting your immune system basically requires you to have a healthy lifestyle, which of course includes a proper diet, regular and proper exercise, and enough sleep.
