Health information noticeThis page is educational and is not medical advice. Tinnitus can have many causes; seek professional evaluation for new, one-sided, pulsatile, sudden, or otherwise concerning symptoms.

Start by naming the symptom correctly

“Ear ringing” is a common way people describe tinnitus, but tinnitus can also sound like buzzing, humming, clicking or hissing.

Why ingredient lists are not enough

A study showing that an ingredient affects stress, circulation or cognition does not establish that it treats tinnitus. The endpoint, dose, population and finished formulation all matter.

What authoritative guidance says

NIDCD states that vitamins, herbal extracts and dietary supplements commonly advertised as cures have not been proven effective for tinnitus.
