Could diabetes and Hyperinsulinemia be your causes of ringing in ears? well

Recently, a study from Brazil revealed a directly link among your body’s inability to metabolize sugar from diabetes and sufferers of tinnitus.

In fact, the study showed that between 84 and 92 percent of those individuals studied complaining of tinnitus also had a metabolic disorder called hyperinsulinemia. (Now, there’s a mouthful of word for you!)

Hyperinsulinemia refers to an elevation of insulin leve

ls in your bloodstream.  This disorder is a direct consequence of insulin resistance, pre cursor to diabetes.  In a nutshell, insulin is being transferred properly from the bloodstream to the cells.  This means the pancreas produce more insulin to lower the glucose levels.  In turn, insulin levels rise even more.

But this is only part of your “dietary recovery plan.”  It’s a great first step no doubt about it.  But you’ll also want to strengthen your efforts by augmenting your diet w

ith certain nutritional supplements.  A marvelous place to start is with the B-complex of vitamins.  This family of nutrients has been known to help stop the ringing in your ears.

Of these vitamins, choose B12, B6 and B5 — better known as pantothenic acid first.  In fact, you’ll want to take 50 mg of B6 at least twice a day — and if possible three times a day.  Natural healers say that this helps to stabilize the fluids of your inner ears.

Another natural way to ensure your body recei

ves B6 is through eating an abundance of whole grain products, eggs, dairy products, and bananas to name just a few foods.

B12 is extremely important as well.  Recent research is showing that more people than originally thought are both suffering with tinnitus and deficient in B12.  Not only that, but this deficiency has been reported to be common in people whose tinnitus is caused by the continued loud environment of their workplace.

Injectable vitamin B12 can only be bought through prescription only.  Unfortunately, no research exists for the oral variety on tinnitus.  Nutritionists suggest that you receive 6 mcg of B12 daily.  This vitamin can be consumed through eggs, milk and milk products, fish, poultry, lamb as well as oysters and even yeast.
