Tinnitus: Herbal Remedies

When first diagnosed with severe chronic tinnitus caused by cilia damage it can be hard to take. Let's face it, no one likes unhappy endings, especially when it is our own unhappy ending. Learning that we will likely never experience a quiet moment again in our lifetime is a difficult pill to swallow.

There is no cure for severe chronic (long-term) tinnitus that is caused by cilia amputation inside of the cochlea. Acute (short-term) tinnitus cures itself. Chronic severe tinnitus caused by cilia damage does not cure itself. Most tinnitus (not all) is typically an amputation of critical hair-like cells inside of the cochlea (cilia) due to noise induced damage.

There are treatments that help people with severe chronic tinnitus to cope. A treatment is not a cure. Some herbal remedy companies that are not approved by the FDA claim to cure tinnitus. They are free to do so. You are free to believe them and try the product. I don't endorse them. When advertisers try to post a link to their site in the comments section of this blog I delete them. Hopefully these advertisers will get the message. They have plenty of space on the internet to sell their products.

If you've stopped at this site to be genuinely informed then you should know that no one has ever cured themselves of chronic tinnitus that is caused by cilia amputation by using an herbal remedy at home. The people who claim a cure occurred are acute tinnitus sufferers who take the herbal remedy and coincidentally their acute tinnitus goes away because the cilia inside of the cochlea have not been amputated and the cilia have stood back up on their own. It had nothing to do with any herbal remedy that the individual was taking at that time. The tinnitus was acute.

Tinnitus can also be caused by other damage besides cilia damage inside of the cochlea. Brain damage, blood pressure issues, auditory nerve damage can all cause the brain to initiate the internal alarm sound of ringing, hissing, crackling, thumping, etc. Consult your doctor as to whether an herbal remedy may help you in that regard. A good treatment team can help you to understand the source of your tinnitus.

Claiming that someone with long-term/chronic severe tinnitus, caused by cochlear cilia amputation, was cured with an herbal remedy is like saying that an amputee grew his or her arm back by taking an herbal remedy. Just because the amputation inside of the auditory system is microscopic doesn't mean that the amputation is any more responsive to herbal remedies than let's say, an arm. We all know that an herbal remedy cannot grow an arm back.

Once gone the cilia do not grow back...period.  If an herbal remedy ever cured anyone it would be someone whose cilia was still intact but had a different source for their tinnitus besides amputated cilia.
