>>13129734There's a study which suggests that people who went an a meticulous Mediterranean-inspired diet improved their tinnitus greatly compared to those who had poor-to-average nutrition, who made no progress.
I can't be bothered to find it.
There's at least one study which shows that tinnitus sufferers without depression or mental health problems improved their perceived tinnitus suffering, while high-neuroticism sufferers stayed at the same level or worsened
Can't be bothered to find it, so sorry for that one.
But the interesting thing I've noticed is that the same pattern is repeated for numerous neurology-related illnesses. Irritable bowel syndrome, for ex.? Don't be depressed, and 50% of subjects report an improvement. Follow a healthy lifestyle? Similar response.
So then, nerve damage in your hands and feet? In your visual system? Similar response.
I need to make a post on my personal blog about this someday, and reign in all the sources, then I'll be better poised to help people like you. For now though, you're on your own.
No doctor you meet will tell you that looking after your mental health, maintaining positive affect, and keeping a healthy diet and active lifestyle will improve your tinnitus, at least as it is perceived. And the studies by people who have actually bothered to try and test the effects of systemic health on tinnitus are few and far between. But they do exist, and you'll have to find them and comb through them with a skeptical eye and still then even place a bit of faith in them, bolstered by similar results in other illnesses.
And sorry for the slightly lame duck response, if I can be bothered not to fall asleep yet I'll hang around and try and hunt down those sources . I'm posting this quickly because it could turn your life around.
(While I'm assuming your tinnitus to be neurological in origin, the idea of ringing tinnitus which isn't neurological in origin may be a fallacy, which would support the efficacy of these treatments)
