What are the side effects if any of taking Lipo-flavanoid meds for hearing loss?

Answer 1

I imagine you are taking this tinnitus or "ringing of the ears, noises in my head", etc..

I myself are a fellow sufferer and so is a large percentage of the general population.

Tinnitus is affliction that affects anyone. You do not have to have a hearing loss to have it. It can be a very upsetting experience and can cause quite a stressfull time for any individual.

First of all medically, we understand very little about this problem. One must be very carefull not to do self diagnosis and self treatment. This can be very dangerous as well as can be very expensive.

First, you should see a medical health care practioner, the medical practioner can determine if there is a known cause "organic" such as too much aspirin or side effect of certain medication or other complicating health reasons. This is rare in most cases it cannot be determined the cause and if that is the case there is nothing medically that cannot be done for it other than self mangemenet. We are only learning about it and there seems to be a strong link between tininnitus and stress. We know that relaxing, excercise and rest usually more manageable. Yoga, good diet and sleeping habits are great steps. You can try all sorts of medications, treatments, supplements and therapys. There is no proven treatment for tinnitus at this time.

We have found that there may be some comfort for some people using lipo-flavanoid or better known as flava based products. As with any supplement, medications or drug using common sense, moderation and education is extremely important. Allways read the warning labels and check before mixing with your other medications.Side effects of flava can be damage to your liver for example and is not to be used long term.

Anyone looking on the internet will see there are millions of sites offereing treatment for tinnitus from all sorts of individuals including well meaning doctors, nutritionist, audiologists, hearing groups, etc.. You may be suprise how few of them are actually have the condition but they offer you help for money. There is no cure. If you are still determine to the allways make sure you can get your money back should it not work that is a good indicator of their product. Allways check with your health care provider first.
