The Benefits of Using CBD for Tinnitus

Tinnitus is a condition that affects approximately 15-20% of people in the United States. It can also cause distress, anxiety, and depression. While there is no known cure for tinnitus, there are treatments that can help manage its symptoms. One potential treatment that has become increasingly popular in recent years is CBD. But does it really work? Let’s explore what the research says about CBD and tinnitus relief.

How Does CBD Work?

CBD stands for cannabidiol, which is one of the active compounds found in cannabis plants. It works by interacting with our endocannabinoid system, a network of receptors located throughout our bodies. This system plays an important role in regulating various bodily functions such as mood, sleep, appetite, and pain perception. When we consume CBD oil or other products containing CBD, it binds to these receptors and potentially helps to reduce inflammation and promote relaxation.

CBD for Tinnitus Relief

This medical journal on Cannabis, Cannabinoids and Tinnitus suggests that CBD may be beneficial in treating tinnitus symptoms such as ringing in the ears or hearing loss. In one study, researchers found that those treated with a topical preparation containing both CBD and THC had reduced levels of ringing compared to those who were not given any treatment at all. Additionally, another study found that those who took a daily dose of 200mg of CBD experienced significant reductions in their symptoms compared to those who did not take any medication at all. 

CBD may have several potential benefits for individuals with Tinnitus, including its anti-inflammatory properties, its ability to regulate neural activity, and its potential to relieve anxiety and stress. It also mentions that CBD may have a positive impact on the sleep disturbances that often accompany Tinnitus.
