Episode 07.29.2026 - Natural Considerations for Tinnitus

SUMMARY

Ringing in the ears - tinnitus - is one of the most requested topics in Dr. Ardis Show history, and for good reason: as many as 50 to 60 million Americans live with it, including many struggling with long-COVID-related "roaring" ringing. In this episode, Dr. Bryan Ardis breaks down what tinnitus actually is per the Cleveland Clinic and Harvard Health, why it isn't simply a normal part of aging, and the sobering list of more than 600 prescription and over-the-counter drugs - including common antibiotics, antidepressants, blood pressure medications, NSAIDs, proton pump inhibitors, and chemotherapy agents - with tinnitus and permanent hearing loss listed as a known side effect.

From there, Dr. Ardis walks through the nutrient research behind his natural recommendations, including human studies linking zinc, vitamin B9 (folate), and vitamin B12 deficiencies to worsened tinnitus and hearing loss, plus 2020 research on nicotine's effect on central auditory processing.
