Methylene Blue: Peat Friendly Hearing Protection

[Let Go]

Pretreatment with methylene blue (MB) for 4 consecutive days significantly protected against cochlear injury by intense broad-band noise for 3 h.

This is pretty impressive!

I'm a fan. I believe it was the MB and K2 that resolved some pretty annoying nagging tinnitus I had from all my years of earplug free band practise!

Yes! Biotin and taurine help as well.
Seems to be a familiar pattern here.

1-3mg MB has been great for everything.

I'm betting Ray Peat would have nothing against some plastic ear plugs either

I think Ray mentioned endotoxin is the cause of a lot of hearing issues like tinnitus. MB is highly anti fungal and anti bacterial maybe that is why MB helped too.

BPA free I hope!

Which is interesting as aspirin increases tinnitus in me if I use for more than a day or two in a row.

Won't help with bone conduction, although it takes a bit longer

Aspirin in high doses is ototoxic and seems to be a mixed bag for tinnitus

I'd like to see control for glycine depletion. There's evidence the salicylate poisoning correlates with low glycine levels and reduced excretion.

Adequate glycine (6-12 grams) minimizes or eliminates the tinnitus from aspirin.

Yep, I should've said can be ototoxic. Looks to be reversible
