The troubles and effects of tinnitus
Tinnitus is a common hearing problem, typically manifesting as a persistent buzzing or hissing sound in the ear. For many, tinnitus can be an annoying and unbearable problem, especially when it is associated with hearing loss or a neurological problem in the brain. Some people may experience tinnitus at some point in their lives, which may be related to past hearing damage. Although the mechanisms of tinnitus are not yet fully understood, some treatments have been shown to help relieve symptoms.

Neurological explanation of tinnitus
Tinnitus is often associated with oversensitivity in the auditory regions of the brain. Research has found that when the brain's "braking" mechanism ( the neurotransmitter GABA ) is insufficient, another neurotransmitter —glutamate — is overactivated, which exacerbates tinnitus symptoms. GABA is an inhibitory neurotransmitter that slows the activity of the central nervous system and counteracts overactivated neural responses, which is why increasing GABA activity can help with tinnitus.
Medications and methods for treating tinnitus
Some medications, such as Gabapentin and Clonazepam , have been found to increase GABA activity in the brain, thus helping to alleviate tinnitus symptoms. These medications reduce tinnitus by increasing GABA , which helps suppress an overactive auditory system. However, these medications can also cause side effects such as nausea, headache, and bloating.
Choosing Natural Supplements
For those who are unwilling to use medication, another option is to use natural supplements. While GABA itself is very popular as a supplement, it cannot cross the blood-brain barrier, thus offering limited help for tinnitus. However, there is an amino acid called " toine ," which can be converted into GABA and cross the blood-brain barrier, thus exerting its effects in the brain. It's important to note that toine should be taken on an empty stomach to avoid competition with other amino acids.
Foods to avoid that can trigger tinnitus
Besides increasing GABA activity, another key point is to reduce the intake of foods that may activate glutamate. Common high-glutamate foods include those containing monosodium glutamate ( MSG ) and artificial sweeteners such as aspartame . These ingredients are commonly found in many processed foods, fast foods, and some Chinese dishes, so it's best to avoid them. In addition, some hidden food ingredients such as hydrolyzed protein, yeast extract, and calcium cobaltamide may also be high in glutamate and should be avoided.
