If you have chronic ringing in your ears, you know it’s really hard to get rid of. You may have tried medications. You may have tried white noise machines or other devices. And you may have tried chiropractic or yoga.
But the ringing continues. And you want it gone.
Well, I have some great news for you.
There’s a simple nutrient that completely stops the ringing in 87% of the people who use it. And, in some cases, it works in just 60 days.
In fact, it worked for my friend Betty.
Betty is a flight attendant. She flies almost daily. And over the years, it’s really taken a toll on her ears.
It started with just the usual popping. Then the pressure changes began to get more painful. And then the ringing started. And it was driving her crazy.
She never knew how much she appreciated silence – until it was gone.
When the ringing first started, Betty tried some simple treatments. She wore hearing protection on the flights. And she cut down on caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and aspirin.
Betty found that those things helped, but they didn’t completely fix the problem. So she went to the doctor. Her doctor suggested giving medication a try. But she knew drugs can have side effects and don’t really treat the underlying cause. So she declined.
Her doctor also said he could design special hearing aids that can cause the ringing to disappear. But hearing aids weren’t an option for Betty. She wanted to find a cure.
That’s when she tried acupuncture. At first, it seemed to work. The very first treatment stopped the ringing. And Betty was ecstatic. But the fix wasn’t permanent. The ringing always came back as soon as she flew again – usually within a day or two.
Why Did the Ringing Come Back?
We know that loud noise and constant pressure changes damage the fragile nerves and delicate hairs in the inner ear.
So Betty needed to do something that would treat the damage done to her ears. And she needed something that would prevent any further damage from happening.
Many doctors will tell you there’s nothing you can do to heal the inner ear. Once the damage is done, it’s done. All you can do is mask the ringing or treat the symptoms with drugs.
How to Permanently Fix the Damage
But research in the last decade has shown that in many cases, the damage can be reversed. And it doesn’t take drugs or surgery to do it.
Betty heard about one particular study that gave her great hope.
In this study, researchers followed 107 men and women who suffered from various ear disorders. Some had chronic ringing in the ear. Others had balance or equilibrium issues. And others had a lack of blood flow to the area that controls our sense of balance.
Unfortunately, blood flow gets compromised as we age. And this includes blood flow to the ear. So the first goal of any treatment is to improve circulation.
If you can use a treatment that improves circulation and heals the damage, you’ve found a real winner. And that’s what these researchers found.
At the beginning of the study, the researchers measured the cochlear blood flow of each participant. They also determined how much vertigo, hearing loss, ringing, pressure in the ear, and unsteady gait the patients had.
Then they gave 55 of the participants 150 mg per day of the herbal extract Pycnogenol®. They gave the other 52 any one of several conventional treatments. Here's what happened:
Startling Results in Just Months
After only 3 months, the researchers retested the participants blood flow and balance. They found that the Pycnogenol group improved more than the conventional group in every single parameter they measured.
Here’s what got Betty’s hopes up: In the first 90 days alone, over 45% of the people using Pycnogenol experienced a complete cure! They didn’t experience any symptoms at all. No ringing, no vertigo, and no problems with their balance.
Compare that to only 23.07% of the patients who got the traditional treatments who experienced the same relief.
But This Study Gets Even Better
At 6 months, over 87% of the Pycnogenol group were completely cured. That’s almost 9 out of every 10 people who took the supplement were cured! That’s unheard of!
Compare that to only 35% of the traditional group that experienced a cure.
Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract originating from the bark of the maritime pine that grows along the coast of southwest France. It contains a unique combination of procyanidins, bioflavonoids, and phenolic acids.
Pycnogenol has been widely studied for more than 40 years. It has more than 370 published studies and review articles. It has a proven record of increasing blood flow and of healing damaged cells. Now we see that it can help people with damaged inner ears.
Betty’s Experience Was Even Better
Betty was so excited about the study that she bought some Pycnogenol tablets online (it’s available just about everywhere) and gave it a try.
Because she started so quickly after hearing the ringing in her ears, the supplement worked extremely fast. After just 2 months, she woke up one day and realized the ringing was gone!
What’s more, the ringing hasn’t come back. So Pycnogenol appears to protect the inner ear from further damage.
Betty is happy as a clam now. She continues to fly every day and loves it. If you have ringing in your ear, do what Betty did and try Pycnogenol. If you do, let me know how it works for you.
