We conducted a double-blind clinical trial with 140 patients suffering from idiopathic tinnitus to gauge the effectiveness of vitamin B12. Participants were divided into two groups, one receiving vitamin B12 and the other a placebo over a month.
We evaluated tinnitus severity through questionnaires at multiple intervals. However, our findings revealed that vitamin B12 did not significantly reduce tinnitus severity compared to the placebo.
Ultimately, our study suggests that vitamin B12 may not be a beneficial treatment for tinnitus, as the results showed no noteworthy improvements.

We explored the potential benefits of Vitamin B12 in treating chronic tinnitus through a randomized, double-blind pilot study.
In this study, we followed 40 patients, half of whom received Vitamin B12 injections weekly for six weeks, while the other half received a placebo.
Notably, we found that many patients were Vitamin B12 deficient, and those who received the treatment reported significant improvements in their tinnitus severity. This suggests that Vitamin B12 may play a therapeutic role for patients suffering from tinnitus who are also deficient in this essential vitamin.

We examined 28 patients with tinnitus related to vitamin B12 deficiency to understand how B12 affects auditory brainstem responses (ABR). Although most neurological and imaging assessments were normal, some showed low amplitude in their ABR. This suggests that there might be a connection between vitamin B12 deficiency and altered auditory responses in tinnitus sufferers. However, our findings indicate that more detailed research is needed to clarify these effects.

Reduced tinnitus
10 people found this helpful
I took this for my tinnitus, and when combined with zinc, the high-pitched noise in my ears diminished significantly. The quality of the ingredients appears adequate, and the small capsules are easy to swallow, with no taste or odour. It is effective for early tinnitus and seems beneficial for the nervous system. Although it contains 180 tablets, I suggest repackaging them in a smaller bottle.

Bought this for my mum, who suffered from noise and ringing in her ears for years. After reading that high doses of vitamin B12 could help, I tried it. Remarkably, after taking the first pill, she reported that the noise subsided temporarily! I recommend taking two tablets daily for a month.

We examined the effectiveness and safety of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) along with vitamin B12 treatment in patients with acute tinnitus. In this pilot study, 46 participants were randomly assigned to either real or sham TENS, receiving weekly vitamin B12 for four weeks.
After the treatment period, we noticed significant improvements in tinnitus symptoms for those receiving verum TENS, as shown by various scales. However, the specific impact of vitamin B12 on tinnitus symptoms was not detailed in the findings, suggesting its role may not be significant.

We examined the effects of Vitamin B12, among other medications, on tinnitus in a study involving 133 patients. Participants were divided into two groups based on the relationship between their auditory emissions and tinnitus frequencies. After 14 days of treatment, the group linked to positive emissions experienced a significant improvement, with an effective rate of 75.3%, compared to just 36.7% for the other group.
Overall, while Vitamin B12 showed promise in certain cases, tailored treatments may be essential for better outcomes, particularly in acute tinnitus cases.

We investigated the relationship between plasma levels of melatonin, vitamin C, and vitamin B12, and the presence of tinnitus in elderly individuals. Our study included 139 healthy seniors divided into those with and without tinnitus.
We found that both melatonin and vitamin B12 levels were significantly lower in those experiencing tinnitus. However, vitamin C levels showed no notable difference.
This indicates that addressing low levels of melatonin and vitamin B12 may be crucial in finding potential treatments for tinnitus in older adults.

Significant volume reduction
8 people found this helpful
I didn't purchase this for my tinnitus, but after taking one capsule, I noticed the ringing was much lower in volume. Previously, a different brand of chewable B12 had no effect. I was amazed by how quietly my tinnitus became, and I've read that a B12 deficiency can cause it. I will keep taking this.

Notable improvements

I acquired this vitamin B12 for my mum's tinnitus. The form of B12 is easily absorbed. While results weren't immediate, with regular use, I noticed significant improvements in well-being over time, which is the most important. It offers great value for money.

Tinnitus alleviated
This vitamin is excellent quality. Previously, I took methylcobalamin in liquid form, which was no different from this. The effects have been positive; my tinnitus has disappeared, anxiety has eased, and dizziness has nearly vanished. I split the capsule in half.

Not effective
2 people found this helpful
I began taking this to prevent sudden hearing loss, but even after using it three times daily, the ringing in my ears persisted. I switched to Thorne's methylcobalamin, and my tinnitus and other issues resolved completely. This product did not suit me.

Improved tinnitus

I am taking this alongside Swanson's PEAK ATP. My Eustachian tube dysfunction has improved, and my tinnitus, which I had almost given up on after a year of treatment, has also lessened somewhat. I will continue taking this in the hope it will further alleviate my tinnitus.

We explored the connection between vitamin B12 deficiency and tinnitus by studying 113 army personnel exposed to noise. Among those with chronic tinnitus and noise-induced hearing loss, 47% showed low vitamin B12 levels.
After vitamin B12 therapy, 12 patients reported some improvement in their tinnitus symptoms. However, the overall benefit of B12 treatment on tinnitus wasn’t significant enough to draw firm conclusions.
The findings suggest that checking vitamin B12 levels could be a beneficial part of assessing patients with chronic tinnitus.
