Ginkgo Biloba
Reviewed by the Nimbera editorial team · Last updated May 2026
How to use
Take 120-240 mg of standardized extract (EGb 761) daily in two or three divided doses with food. Allow at least 8-12 weeks of consistent use before evaluating effects.
How it works
Ginkgo biloba improves microcirculation in the cochlea and inner ear, reduces oxidative stress, and has mild neuroprotective effects that may support auditory nerve function and reduce perceived ringing.
Where to buy
Health food stores, pharmacies, Amazon - brands like Nature's Bounty, Solgar, or NOW Foods. Look for standardized extract labeled EGb 761 or 24% flavonoids.
Typical cost: $15-$30 per month
Safety notes
Do not use if taking blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin) as ginkgo has anticoagulant properties. May interact with antidepressants and seizure medications. Stop 2 weeks before any surgery.
