I am led to believe tinnitus is caused by damage to inner ear hairs and their relationship with cells contained within the inner ear, once those hairs are damaged there's no turning back. I don't personally believe tinnitus can be fixed, regardless of what I have read others say about 'cures', I've had it for some time. Lot's of things supposed to help, 'white noise' etc, but in reality one can't be listening to white noise 24/7, just gotta learn to live with it, or have a diesel engine idling next to you 24/7 to drown out the ringing in the ear/s <g>.

A dear friend who's a musician with CFIDS, is having trouble with tinnitus. I KNOW I've filed several posts that cover this over the last year, but haven't yet followed through with my New Year's resolution to put them in order (a time-consuming task) and I'd love to help her now if possible. I vaguely remember the mention of Apple Cider Vinegar, Swedish Bitters, and some vit. supplements, but don't know the 'how' and 'how much' of these. If anyone out there has some info, I'd be so grateful. I know how wretched this condition can be. She'll be calling later to tell me more specific details, but I thought if I could offer her any promising leads when she calls it might cheer her up. Happy New Year Everyone!Be well,Léna
