Ear, Nose and Throat Disorders Forum - Reduce the Effects of Titinus

Hi all,

i'm posting this question the hope that someone may have some information that can help me.

My father (aged 70) has suffered from titinus for several years, it has all been a buzzing/ringing noise, but recently it have become worse and also has been effecting his balance with dizzy spells. After talking to specialists nobody has a cure or any means to reduce the effects of the titinus.

After reading several posts on the net some people claim that it is cause from damage to the ears from loud noises (this would make sense as he used to shoot quite alot when he was younger).

Does every one agree with this?

Another post I read was that the over use of aspirin can cause ringing of the ears? (my father does take aspirin every day)

has anyone heard of this?

Please if anyone has any sort of information please let me know.

Thanks.
Philip ashworth.

Ringing In the Ears

D.C. Jarvis, folk medicine, mentions the only treatment I have seen or heard of. He believes loss of trace minerals is the cause, see page 154, and recommends a daily drink of apple cider vinegar 2 teaspoons in warm water, with 2 teaspoons honey, and a drop of lugol's solution, (5% iodine and 10% potassium iodide). I am also experimenting with dulce to recover minerals from the sea.

Reduce the Effects of Tinnitus

Aspirin's unfortually do have that side affect. It sounds like his ear problem is progessing to something other condition other than tinnitus.

Tinnitus generally does not cause dizzy spells in my experience.

First thing I would recommend is to take your father to his doctor and have it checked out

It is quite likely that your fathers shooting at a young age has affected his ears, To suffer from tinnitus you must have ear or hearing damage.
