Tinnitus appears as a ringing or buzzing in the
ear. It may occur by itself or as a symptom of another problem like: infection, blockage of ear canal, noise induced hearing
loss, head trauma, or Meniere's disease. Hearing loss affects over 23 million Americans. Nutrition and
supplements may help people who are suffering from tinnitus, especially if they have a poor diet.
