Ear Drops For Tinnitus Ringing - Do They Work?

Do ear drops for tinnitus ringing have any credibility? Do they work? Can you really put drops in the ear and get a reduction in your tinnitus intensity or even potentially a total eradication of your symptoms?

The simple truth is this: NO they do not work. How could they work?

OK, I've never tried them and I don't know anyone who has tried them. If you have a tinnitus intensity of nearly 10 then I don't blame you for trying them and, you know what, they're fairly cheap so you don't really lose anything by trying.

But I am yet to find anyone on the internet who said that they work. OK, there are a few anecdotes here and there from people who "think" they have a small reduction but this is probably just the placebo effect more than anything else.

What's In Tinnitus Ear Drops?

These ear drops are typically one of two things. Either they are a homeopathic remedy or they are simply a mixture of several different ingredients, each of which has at least anecdotal evidence that it might help for tinnitus, usually if taken orally.

There is no real, hard evidence that tinnitus ear drops work. Moreover, the "science" behind them is extremely sketchy. It is very easy for anyone to try to explain something scientifically to suit their own agenda because the general public do not have a full understanding of science and so may not spot glaring assumptions that are made in the explanations.

Ear Cleaning Drops

The only time when ear drops may help you is in clearing problematic wax. Most people actually over-clean their ears but there are occasions when you may need to clear out old wax and drops can help you do this.

You may experience better hearing afterwards but it won't do anything for the hair cell damage in your cochleas that contributes to your tinnitus so don't make the mistake of thinking that your tinnitus might be improved. It is all too easy to try something like this, get better hearing and believe that your tinnitus symptoms might have decreased. It won't have and there's no way that it could.
