When it comes to vitamins to help tinnitus the B vitamin family is king. I will be honest and state up front that most reports of vitamins for tinnitus relief are anecdotal. However, measuring the intensity of your tinnitus is, for the most part subjective because no one but you can hear the noise. This makes remedies for tinnitus hard to gather data on, having said that, it is certainly worth trying either a B complex or a multiple vitamin once a day and noting if you have an improvement in your symptoms.
Vitamins to Help Tinnitus
Vitamins B
Vitamin B1, also known as Thiamine, helps support and stabilize the nervous system, which has been reported to lessen tinnitus symptoms. The nervous system is thought to be involved in many causes of tinnitus due to the cilia (small hairs) within the ear that can be damaged and contribute to noises.
Vitamin B3, also known as Niacin, has been shown to improve blood circulation and also aids in keeping the nervous system working well. There is no established standard dosage for Vitamin B3 for tinnitus but a standard B complex will be sufficient.
Vitamin B12 - Taking 250 mg daily of vitamin B12 for 6 weeks may improve tinnitus symptoms. B12 is used by the body to create 'myelin' which is the protective sheath that surrounds nerve fibers in the ear and elsewhere in the body.
Folate or Folic Acid is also in the B Vitamin family and has been shown to be beneficial for reduction of ringing in the ears.
Vitamin C supplements with bioflavonoids help support immune system function and prevent ear infections, which can benefit some tinnitus sufferes.
Vitamin D is also supportive of the immune system and taking 400 IU daily may be useful.
Taking a vitamins may help reduce tinnitus and they have been found to be most effective when started soon after the symptoms begin. You will want to consult with your medical doctor about your use of vitamins and dosages before following the recommendations above to avoid the vitamins interfering with any medications or conditions.
Because there are many factors that may contribute to your tinnitus, you may need to utilize different vitamins at the same time or combine your vitamin intake with other natural cures for tinnitus to completely eliminate the noise.
