Ringing in Your Ears?

Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) is a condition that can be frustrating and maddening for those whom it affects. It has been associated with over-exposure to loud noise, as a side effect from certain medications including aspirin, thyroid disorders, high blood pressure, or a temporary result from a cold, sinus or ear infection or even from excessive ear-wax buildup. Ginko biloba, an herb touted for its properties thought to aid improvement of memory, has been found by numerous studies conducted in Europe, to help relieve tinnitis, and it is one of the most often used approaches in Germany. Experts feel it´s effectiveness comes from the herb´s ability to improve cirulation in the inner ear, allowing healing of the inner ear to take place.
