[The zinc sulfate overload test in patients suffering from tinnitus associated with low serum zinc. Preliminary report].
This work studies the efficiency of the zinc overloading in the treatment of patients suffering from tinnitus with hypozincemia. The authors have positive results about 52% of cases: in 15% there was a good amelioration and in 37% there was a little but significant amelioration of their symptoms. The authors have also found on that this type treatment with zinc of overloading is more efficient in males than in females. It is also more efficient in types of tinnitus of a continuous character than in other types.
