Zinc Supplementation

for Tinnitus

Oral zinc supplementation for tinnitus in individuals with zinc deficiency, based on evidence that serum zinc levels are lower in some tinnitus patients.

How it works

Zinc is a cofactor for superoxide dismutase in the inner ear. Deficiency may increase oxidative damage to cochlear hair cells and alter auditory nerve transmission.

What to watch for

Most effective in those with confirmed or suspected zinc deficiency. Long-term high-dose zinc (>40mg/day) depletes copper — take alongside a copper supplement.
