[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3534890, member: 24531"] I've heard that too. Tinnitus is common after many viral infections and some say (ironically enough) it can be caused by EBV. No matter the cause, look into [B]pycnogenol, ginko biloba, and taurine[/B] respectively for ringing in the ears and periodic hearing loss (taurine also purportedly helps prevents heart disease and helps sleep if taken before bed!). I have had it myself and it has improved dramatically using these supplements. My doctor also told me that the virus can damage the inner ear permanently and then sodium in the diet becomes an issue. I have also shaved off some of that (not to the point of a low sodium diet yet) per his advice. Mine was so bad I woke up and couldn't hear well out of one ear and it came and went for days until I went lower sodium and added the pycnogenol. I hope it lasts! Grape seed is a potentially cheaper alternative to pycnogenol as they both contain [B]OPC's[/B], but there was an actual study done with pycnogenol that showed improved blood flow to the inner ear and improved symptoms in the study participants. There are obvious other potential benefits other than tinnitus to all of the things I mentioned so just ask if you want further elaboration. [/QUOTE]
