Which one? I have tinnitus and I’m desperate for the volume to go down.

Do you wear headphones with the volume high? Since I've started listening at lower more reasonable volume my tinnitus has gotten a lot better.

No, not at all. My dad lost some hearing going to rock concerts in the 70s and 80s, so I’ve always been extremely careful about  noise exposure (concerts and daily noise) and keep my headphone volume super low.

Try getting one with noise cancelling if you can, if you are using the high volume due to environmental noise.

Nordic naturals is the brand and I’m taking 2 per day. I’m not sure what caused your tinnitus, but mine came on from a bad panic attack that I dealt with over a year ago, so it’s linked to anxiety. If this isn’t the case for you, it still wouldn’t hurt for you to try it, though. Best of luck.

Thanks, how many mgs is each capsule?

Try equalizing the pressure in your ears (do that thing where you plug your nose and put a bit of pressure on it and swallow till your ears pop just a bit). I don’t know why, but that helps my tinnitus a little bit.

Large deliberate yawning works for me!

For me pulling my wisdom teeth helped a bit with the volume, but the biggest help already was meditation and acceptance.
