I've taken Ginko  50mg/day for a year and have not noticed a benefit
to my T.  I take it for other reasons.  Well, thats the extent of my
anecdotal evidence concerning Ginkgo and T.

A little research may find a small study or two that seem to support
the efficacy of Ginkgo for alleviating Tinnitus.  However, A little
more 'honest' research will reveal that the majority of studies
conclude that Ginkgo does NOT help Tinnitus.

Lesson here? If a person is simply determined to obtain confirmation
of their opinion on something, there is a decent chance they can find
a study somewhere by someone who's conclusion may seem to lend
support. If more studies are available, as they are in this case, a
survey of the conclusions should be sought by the truly inquisitive
mind.  Before I quote such a survey I have a ....

Commentary: As for the deaf,dumb, & blind 'Tommy' who finds his
salvation, speech, and vision by playing a mean game of pinball, the
rest of us should be wary of his claims when he proselytizes that
playing pinball will help us too. Ginkgo biloba is contraindicated for
dozens of drugs and conditions. I hope no one gets hurt by acting upon
the Ginkgo hype from Tommy.  If Ginkgo works for you and you report
that here, you will be the second reported success!  If you get
seriously ill from it, we probably wont hear from you. :-(

On to the plethora of not-so-anecdotal evidence.  One survey of many
Ginkgo-Tinnitus studies can be found for 'Tinnitus Aurium' at
http://healthlibrary.epnet.com.  It concludes that, "the evidence is
strong enough to state that ginkgo does NOT benefit tinnitus".

"Several studies have evaluated Ginkgo biloba extract for treating
tinnitus, but the results have been conflicting. (2-7,18).  While some
small studies found benefit, by far the largest and best-designed of
these trials found no benefit. In this double-blind, placebo-
controlled trial, 1,121 individuals with tinnitus were given 12 weeks
of treatment with standardized ginkgo at a dose of 50 mg 3 times daily
(8).
The results showed no difference between the treated and the placebo
group.
A separate set of researchers performed an additional study on ginkgo
for tinnitus, and then additionally conducted a meta-analysis
(statistically rigorous review) of the published data. Their
conclusion: the evidence is strong enough to state that ginkgo does
NOT benefit tinnitus. (20)"
