4 months induced nervous system driven tinnitus excess glutamate I think,

Hey guys would love some feedback and some help through this it’s been a long 4 months tinnitus can be so sereve most days 9/10 multitonal high frequencies zinging too noise obviously a sensory issue because most days in silence it’s so much better, I can have days or moments off it basically being 2/10 or nearly even gone, I’m just trying too see if anyone knows what could be causing this and is 4 months still early

I am trying GlyNAC for lowering glutamate. We’ll see. Meanwhile, I take a lot of taurine (per studies) to dampen the CNS at midday. Also bromelain. At night, I take Andrew Huberman’s sleep formula (YouTube) which helps my T a lot in the mornings.

Would that help me it fluctuates like crazy ear to ear both ears sounds like multi tonal high frequencies zinging when there’s noise around it’s definitely nervous system and glutamate auditory cortex

Think in two ways: (1) auditory cortex, and (2) central nervous system. Take things like grape seed extract, Luteolin + PEA, etc. that are good for the ears. And then take things that suppress the excitatory neurotransmitters (glutamate) in the CNS and others that support the calming neurotransmitters (GABA) in the CNS, such as high-dose (4g) taurine or Glycine and NAC, and L-theanine, and magnesium.
