Save your money and buy something much cheaper than RingStop that actually has a good chance of working. Homeopathic cures like RingStop are only for "true" believer types: homeopathic means: A system for treating disease based on the administration of minute doses of a drug that in massive amounts produces symptoms in healthy individuals similar to those of the disease itself.

Recently, some credible studies have shown a connection between Vitamin B12 deficiency and tinnitus (search the Web). The studies involved B12 shots, but a tinnitus suffer could just buy B12 in a bottle over the counter for a few bucks. Choose the lozenge sublingual form rather than buying the tablet form since B12 is absorbed into the body better under the tongue than through the stomach. Dissolve the lozenge by placing it under your tongue for a couple minutes. Also, take a couple multi-vitamins per day to make sure you are getting enough of the other vitamins and minerals. When you are on the vitamin regimine, your tinnitus may go away for a day and then come back louder for a day or two as your inner ear heals, but you should eventually get some relief. Anyway, it won't hurt to take the vitamin regimine for a month (or until the bottle is empty) to see what it does. If it helps soften the tinnitus or cures it, keep taking 2 multi-vitamins and a B12 (Cyanocobalamin) lozenge. Try to find out whether you need, say, one, two or three B12 lozenges a day to deaden the ringing, and record what strength the lozenges were (e.g., 500 mcg = 8,333 % USRDA).

See your doctor since tinnitus can be caused by several ailments, including bad neck alignment, i.e, bad posture. Watch out because chiropractic adjustments have caused or worsened tinnitus. Use a thick pillow at night to keep you from having a creeky neck. That way, the slight "cracking" of the joints doesn't shock the inner ear and trigger tinnitus for a day or days on end. If you neck is creeky when you wake up, or is sore or crackily by the end of the day, I suggest you layer two pillows together inside one pillow case for more firm support, unless you already have a thick, firm pillow to start with.

I took a double dose, two caps, twice a day for two months as directed. Nothing. Nada. You ask,"Would the same apply to me?" I think so for the following reasons:

There are two groups of ingredients in Ringstop.

The first group is homeopathic preparations. As far as I know there has never been a valid double-blind placebo-controlled study demonstrating the effectiveness of any homeopathic remedy in treating any condition, let alone something as intractable as tinnitus.

The second group of ingredients is a list of minerals, vitamins and herbs, but with no amounts given. No mgs or mcgs. In the supplement industry when someone does this it is usually thought to be "pixie dust". That means the quantities are so small as to be nutritionally insignificant but you can still claim that they are in the product. Even the lengthy brochure inside the box says nothing about the quantities of these ingredients. It does mention that there is no cure for tinnitus though. But I did not even experience a temporary reduction of symptoms.

Given all of the above I am not only disappointed in Dr Bob, I am downright suspicious of him.

It took an excessive amount of time to receive the product. I do not notice improvement with the ringing in my ears.

I had intense fire-drill type ringing in my ear. Since I've been taking two of these a day, it has been drastically reduced to a very low ocean wave sound.

I purchased this product for my husband. He took it as directed for several months and saw no improvement.

This is the second tinnitus product I've tried hoping it might work. It's just another dissapointment and more money down the drain. What really makes you feel stupid is the warranty. Product takes 3 to 6 months to work but only has a 30 day warranty. Daaaaa Well someone is laughing all the way to the bank.

This product does not work. I've had tinnitus for about a year now, and all the books I read about it said that pills don't work to help reduce or eliminate tinnitus. But, I was desperate to try anything after other treatments had failed. I tried Ring Stop, taking 2 capsules twice a day for two months, as they recommended. It had absolutely no impact on my tinnitus. There was no reduction in the noise in my ears. This product does not work, it does not reduce one's tinnitus (at least in my experience) and I would strongly encourage you not to waste your money on it, as I did. I wish it would have worked, believe me, but as all the books say--and which I now must disappointingly admit--taking pills will not eliminate tinnitus. My experience with Ring Stop certainly proved that.

My husband tries EVERY new product that comes on the market to help the ringing in his ears, but he ALWAYS comes back to RingStop. He Loves This Product !!!

I have suffered from tinitus for some time now with it steadly getting worse. It was getting to the point of being past annoying and becoming painful much of the time. I have been using the Ring Stop now for about 6 weeks, following the dosing instructions of taking 4 capsules a day and have found it to decrease the ringing to levels that are no longer painful and sometimes hardly noticable. I will continue to use this product and hope to continue to see a decrease in the ringing. That it has improved my ability to get to sleep is the greatest benefit. The price here is much better than what I can purchase it locally for if I can even find it available.
