(I've never seen a dosage for tinnitus.) Taurine isn't known to toxic, but it is contraindicated for people with bipolar disorder and, according to WebMD, has moderate interactions with lithium. I've seen taurine used at 500 mg to several grams per day. Too bad we can't surmise the appropriate dose. But it does suggest taurine would ameliorate tinnitus. How this translates to humans is unknown. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that taurine attenuates tinnitus and improves auditory discrimination by increasing inhibitory tone and decreasing noise in the auditory pathway.' (3) As indicated by lever pressing, taurine at both doses had a significant group-equivalent stimulant effect. (2) Auditory discrimination was significantly improved in unexposed control rats at both doses. Three main effects were obtained: (1) The high taurine dose significantly attenuated tinnitus, which returned to near pre-treatment levels following washout. Two concentrations of taurine in drinking water were given over several weeks (attaining average daily doses of 67 mg/kg and 294 mg/kg). Months after exposure, 6 of the exposed rats showed significant evidence of chronic tinnitus. An equivalent unexposed control group was run in parallel. The rats were trained and tested in an operant task shown to be sensitive to tinnitus. Eight rats were unilaterally exposed once to a loud sound to induce tinnitus. Taurine, a partial agonist at inhibitory glycine and γ-amino butyric acid receptors, was added to the daily diet of rats to examine its effects on chronic tinnitus and normal auditory discrimination. ' Loss of central inhibition has been hypothesized to underpin tinnitus and impact auditory acuity. An influential study on taurine's ability to lessen tinnitus perception in rats appeared in 2010 and is cited below: Calming the brain, obviously, would reduce tinnitus. It crosses the blood-brain barrier (like l-theanine but unlike GABA), and taurine is essential in numerous other processes.įor our purposes, taurine in neuroprotective, specifically it protects against glutamate toxicity and calms the brain, binding to glycine and GABA receptors. Taurine is useful in diabetic retinopathy, is a potent antioxidant, and helps to lessen anxiety. These function include: being cardioprotective and lowering blood pressure. Taurine is technically a sulfonic acid that has many essential functions. Here's what I've gathered on taurine, and why it may help tinnitus. Please keep us posted if you try the GABA. That is good since I am stressed out enough with my business and my terminally ill sister. It normally has been very low - enough that I can habituate and it hasn't had me stressed. My T has been a whisper for two days straight. with daily updates of course!!! I would, but I am already doing one remedy with them for something else. What I would be interested in is when someone gets brave enough to try that homeopathic remedy I posted from Biogetica. And no supplement so far has done the trick as far as I know of.

I really can't say which is more effective as we don't all have the same reasons for our T. I use toothpaste and mouthwash with zinc in it as well. I am getting the alpha lipoic in a supplement already along with zinc. The magnesium I take is citrate and transdermal chloride. I have been loosing weight or maintaining and eating what I want. Taking about 2-4 teaspoons a day with water and stevia. Oh, I was told Braggs apple cider vinegar (raw) would do the trick for T. I started on selenium and quercetin for other reasons along with my other supplements. I think I took it too long and had a negative effect.
