Hi, Dr. Sears,
Q: A friend of mine has had a severe case of tinnitus for many years. A chiropractor recently told him that fish oil may help relieve his tinnitus. Could you comment and suggest a daily dosage that might address this?
Thanks, Sue
Dear Sue,
A: Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) appears to have an inflammatory component. I would suggest about 5 grams of EPA and DHA per day.
