<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nMany people experience symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency, including ringing in the ears. Vitamin B12 is essential for maintaining the health of the nerves in the body, as well as the production of blood cells and DNA, the genetic material of all cells. Although vitamin B12 is commonly consumed through diet, deficiency can lead to a variety of symptoms, which can progressively worsen over time. One of these symptoms is tinnitus, which is characterized by a ringing in the ears without any external source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency may be subtle and asymptomatic. However, the condition may be caused by an underlying condition. Many people are not aware of their B12 deficiency until they begin to experience a ringing sound in one or both ears. This can be caused by a number of different problems, including allergies, aging, and pernicious anemia. Fortunately, there are several ways to treat this condition, including injections, fortified cereals, soy products, and even certain medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the most significant studies on the effects of vitamin B12 on tinnitus has been conducted at Era's Lucknow Medical College. There, 40 patients with chronic subjective tinnitus were randomly assigned to one of two groups: Group A received intramuscular vitamin B12 injections, while group B was given a placebo injection. Before the injections, participants underwent a pure tone hearing test and a self-report tinnitus severity index questionnaire. Afterwards, the participants underwent another test to determine whether their levels of vitamin B12 were higher. The treatment caused significant improvement in the patients' hearing at the highest frequency, which was 250 Hz. The other frequencies showed no significant difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One study on vitamin B12 treatment of chronic tinnitus reported promising results. Patients with B12 deficiency had improved tinnitus severity index scores compared to those with normal levels of B12. This study was published in the bimonthly journal Noise & Health. The Victory Hearing & Balance Center offers tinnitus treatment. The University of the Pacific is the leading tinnitus treatment center in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
