Suggest Treatment For Tinnitus When Diagnosed With Atrial Fibrillation

Hi, I m a 78 years old male diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, have aMedtronic Pace maker in plant and am on the following mess: metropolol 25mg, Flecainide 50 mg 2x/day, lisinopril 5 mg, digoxin 0.125 mg 1 pill every other day, taking also vitamin D3 1000 IU, Vit. C ester C 1000 mg and centrum silver multivitamin 1/day. I have been suffering with Tinnitis (ringing in the ears) for 10 years. Have tried several remedies without any help. Have my ears checked, cleaned. My hearing is good. I came across an article written by Gregory Peters, who used to suffer from tinnitus for many years, went through all the testing and tried remedies without help. According to his research he explains the root cause of Tinnitus is a disorder in the brain and not in the ears. He claims Tinnitus is a deseas of networks that connects the brain. There is a remedy called Qiet Mind Plus which released him from the torture of Tinnitis and is Tinnitus free. I would like to try it but am concerned about posible interactions with my medications. The ingredients in this remedy are: hibiscus, hawthorn berries, olive leaves,Niacin B3, garlic, B12,B6, Bachu leaves, green tea,juniper berries, vitamin C and Uva. Would like to have an opinion from an independent doctor. Thank you. Len

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I would not suggest any medication instead I would suggest that you go for tinnitus masking therapy. Please visit a good hearing assessment center and get an audiogram and impedance done. Even if the reports are normal you can choose to wear a hearing aid which would serve mainly to mask your tinnitus if a tinnitus masking program is linked with it. You will only require a hearing aid paired with a good smartphone.

Relief assured.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
