Sonus Nutritional supplement: Is tinnitus really just a "warning signal" of deep brain problems? Will nutrition be enough to fix it?

1. Hibiscus and hawthorn berries

These are the major ingredients which fight tinnitus. They also support clarity in hearing. Hibiscus in the formula also improves the working of your central nervous system. Whereas hawthorn berries may help reduce panic attacks which are common with anxiety.

2. Juniper berry and uva ursi

The product contains two more ingredients, both of which clean out impurities from your brain. By doing so, these agents improve your brain health.

3. Vitamin C

This vitamin has been added for the purpose of supporting the eradication of tinnitus so that you can live a peaceful life. Furthermore, the nutrient also protects your brain from memory loss.

4. Garlic

This herb is also included in the supplement. It decreases the risk of dementia as well as boosts your memory. Furthermore, it also helps you sleep better along with reducing brain fog and dizziness.

5. Olive leaves

These are the third ingredients of the formula which boost your memory as well as reduce the risk of mental disorders. Furthermore, they reduce brain confusion and improve your mood, two concerns which often accompany tinnitus.

6. Green tea

Green tea in the formula is rich in antioxidant content. For this reason, it is able to fight oxidative stress and improve the neural connections of the brain. In short, it boosts brain health along with providing other benefits.

7. Vitamins B12, B6, and bucha leaves

This is the last bunch of ingredients that this formula contains. What it does is that it improves your brains neural connections. Plus, it improves mental clarity, and sharpens your mental acuity along with doing the main task of getting rid of tinnitus.

The failure of deep connections in the brain - your brain is a ticking time bomb and Tinnitus is the Emergency Alert!

Brain Scan uncovers Root Cause of Tinnitus? vid 

OK so it's a SALES vid but near the end actually cites some research....

https://bmcbiol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7007-7-80 

 hyperactivity of the temporal cortices in tinnitus is integrated in a global network of long-range cortical connectivity. Top-down influence from the global network on the temporal areas relates to the subjective strength of the tinnitus distress.

 The temporal lobe is involved in primary auditory perception, such as hearing, and holds the primary auditory cortex.

 a decrease of long-range synchrony with the epileptic focus and this isolation was accompanied by an increase of local synchrony

 fascinating....

  we expected to find abnormalities in the long-range couplings under resting conditions.

 The outflow in this cluster was significantly increased in the higher frequency range from 54 - 100 Hz for the tinnitus group.

 So that is the Gamma "thinking" brain waves.... 40 hertz or higher

The orbitofrontal cortex was receiving more inflow in the high frequency gamma range in the tinnitus group compared to the control group. Posterior parts of the cortex were receiving less inflow from other brain areas in a broad frequency range that included delta, theta, alpha, low beta and gamma frequencies.

So that paper is cited by some 188 other papers...

it can be tuned out by feedback connections from limbic regions, which block the tinnitus signal from reaching auditory cortex. If the limbic regions are compromised, this “noise-cancellation” mechanism breaks down, and chronic tinnitus results.

Totally fascinating - I can FEEL my Limbic Region - and "flex it." haha.

 cortical neurons with input from frequency ranges next to the cut-off frequency display permanently elevated spontaneous activity (“hyperactivity”) as well as transiently enhanced burst-firing and increased synchronous activity (Noreña and Eggermont, 2003, Weisz et al., 2006).

 Using VBM on tinnitus patients, Mühlau et al. (2006) observed a significant increase of gray-matter density in the posterior thalamus, including the medial geniculate nucleus (MGN).

 So - alcohol causes that same "lesion" in the brain!! increased gray matter in the thalamus - from dopamine neuron damage!!

 So that was the brain area damaged - that caused Tinnitus. Wow!!

That's pretty close to the pineal gland....

insomnia may cause tinnitus, and both may be associated with serotonin depletion.

So that's why alcohol disturbs the sleep cycle - it causes too much glucocortisoid receptor damage - and so the adrenals are over stimulated - in the early morning sleep cycle - which is when adrenaline is normally peaking upon waking up.

the tinnitus signal is cancelled out at the level of the thalamus by an inhibitory feedback loop originating in paralimbic structures: activity from these structures reaches the TRN, which in turn inhibits the MGN. If, however, paralimbic regions are compromised, inhibition of the tinnitus signal at the thalamic gate is lost, and the signal is relayed all the way to the auditory cortex, where it leads to permanent reorganization and chronic tinnitus.

Wow - normally the "inhibitory feedback" is by the prefrontal cortex itself! that is the premise of "mindfulness meditation" - using your left brain as inhibitory feedback - same with japa meditation.

But they are saying - no - Tinnitus is much deeper - and real meditation does this deep brain inhibition activation.
