This is an excellent article. I know about how wonderful mg is because it basically saved my back. But I had forgotten about loud noises causing a loss of mg. And just recently doctors have been discussing that loud noises are bad for our hearts. It’s understandable since we lose magnesium with loud noises.

Dr. Neil, I have a friend who has tinnitis, I think it is, and doesn’t magnesium help this too? Also, D-methionine, what supplement is this and where can it be found?

I cringe every time thinking back to when I was younger, going to those loud concerts. I’m sure that my hearing was damaged from at least one back in 1975.

Thanks

Hi Mohammad:

I’m not sure what guidance you are looking for. Your doctor is treating you, but there are no guarantees that your hearing will ever come back. My rule of thumb is that whatever hearing you have at the end of 30 days is likely what you will be left with.

After 30 days or so, it is time to switch from treatment mode to learning to live with your hearing loss and tinnitus.

There are many coping strategies you can use that will help you successfully live with your hearing loss and tinnitus. You can read numerous articles on this website on these subjects.

I wish you well.

Neil

As a former rocker I did my ears in before I was 21. Though I think my hearing is not so good, the ear clinic said I was OK except for tinnitus. (Yet, hearing tests are conducted in a silent environment – while most of my hearing problems occur at group events that are quire noisy.)

I have increased my dietary magnesium and don’t see much difference, but it seems not to be a big help after the damage is done.

Thanks for the postings.
