Does anyone remember the name of the medication that the military was supposedly using to cure Tinnitus? I saw some post back on QRV but cannot find the reference anywhere else.
Thanks.

Hi, this cured my tinnitus of 15 years. It works very well for many people. Before you knock it because of how simple it is, please try it for a couple of days.

I'm going to paste this as a response to the other people too
Thanks. Pretty crazy. I'll try it!
Hi any luck with the tinnitus?
Yep crazy.....snake oil crazy....just like the viral video of tapping your ear....all that does is distract your brain for a few minutes. Tinnitus is inner ear damage, simple...and it sucks.
I've been to an audiologist and have measurable hearing loss. She explained that tinnitus was the brain filling in noise in a certain frequency range to compensate for hearing damage aka psychological, to some extent. The tapping and other physical methods likely work as neurological trigger points. It's a very odd condition.
Yes....your brain turns up its “gain” or signal sensitivity if anyone has ever used a guitar amplifier. So now the brain is looking for the signal that is suddenly gone due to hearing loss. Please don’t let any “doctor” give you Prozac or other drugs to calm you, helping coping with tinnitus....that only gets you hooked on the drugs.
You will never “get used to it” but realize that damage was done, and as long as you stay away from noise over 85db, it shouldn’t get worse. Use earplugs....earplugs and good muffs at the shooting range. Always have some foam earplugs in your pocket just in case...I will never own a convertible now.
