Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that people have used for thousands of years to treat a variety of health issues. It involves inserting thin needles into locations of the body at different depths.
Authors of a 2018 randomized clinical trialTrusted Source note that studies have found mixed results on the efficacy of acupuncture as a treatment for tinnitus.
Some research found no significant benefits, while others found that acupuncture may improve sleep and quality of life and reduce stress in people with tinnitus.
However, the clinical trial found that acupuncture was effective and can reduce the loudness and severity of tinnitus in some people.
Evidence supporting acupuncture for tinnitus is inconclusive.
Acai
Acai products contain fruit from the acai palm tree. Acai fruit is rich in polyphenols, minerals, fibers, and lipids, and people often use it for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
One randomized, placebo-controlled studyTrusted Sourcefound that people who took acai had a significant reduction in the discomfort of tinnitus compared with the placebo group. However, more research is necessary to determine how effective and safe acai may be as a treatment for tinnitus.
Acai supplements may be safe, but researchers have found a possible connectionTrusted Source between drinking unprocessed acai juice and a life threatening condition called Chagas’ disease, also known as American trypanosomiasis.
Experts do not have much information on the safety of acai during pregnancy and breastfeeding or chestfeeding. Acai may also affect MRI results.
Red Asian ginseng
People use the root of the ginseng plant, native to China and Korea, for a variety of health benefits.
ResearchersTrusted Source believe ginseng could be helpful as a tinnitus treatment as it may have ear-protecting properties, which could help protect against noise-induced hearing loss and cochlear damage.
More research and large-scale studies are necessary to determine how effective ginseng may be as a treatment for tinnitus.
One study found that people who took3,000 milligrams of ginseng per day had a significant reduction in the severity of tinnituscompared with people who received smaller doses or took ginkgo biloba.
Ginseng is likely safeTrusted Source, although it may cause side effects in some people, such as insomnia, digestive issues, and menstrual problems.
Anon used Ginko Biloba and it had an immediate effect but could interact with medicines. But for me it was almost miraculous. Do you own research
Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba is an extract from the leaves of the ginkgo tree.
According to a 2022 reviewTrusted Source, various studies have looked at whether ginkgo biloba may be an effective treatment for tinnitus. Researchers believe that the antioxidant and vasodilatory effects of the extract may help alleviate tinnitus.
Although many studies have investigated ginkgo biloba as a treatment for tinnitus, the evidence of its efficacy is inconclusive or unreliable.
A 2019 reviewTrusted Source notes that despite a lack of evidence to support ginkgo as a tinnitus treatment, more people use the extract than any other herbal supplement to treat the condition.
As well as there being a lack of evidence to support the efficacy of the extract,
