Oryzanol can alleviate tinnitus caused by insomnia. However, its therapeutic effect is relatively limited for tinnitus arising from other causes. Patients with tinnitus are generally advised—under a physician’s guidance—to use Ginkgo Biloba Pills or Renshen Guipi Pills for treatment. In cases of severe tinnitus, surgical intervention may also be required.
