The Truth About CoQ10 and Ringing Ears

If you've ever searched for tinnitus remedies, you've probably come across CoQ10. But does it actually help? In this episode, Dr. Layne Garrett breaks down what CoQ10 is, why it matters at the cellular level, and what current research shows about its role in tinnitus management. You'll learn how oxidative stress affects the inner ear, which patients may benefit most from supplementation, and why CoQ10 is best viewed as a supportive tool—not a standalone treatment. Dr. Garrett also walks through practical considerations like dosing ranges, timelines for improvement, safety, and common misconceptions. Most importantly, he explains how CoQ10 fits inside a comprehensive, evidence-based tinnitus treatment plan that includes REM-verified hearing aid fittings, sound therapy for sleep and relief, CBT-informed tools for emotional regulation, and—when appropriate—bimodal neuromodulation. This warm, clear, non-hyped overview helps you understand what's realistic, what the science actually says, and how to determine whether CoQ10 is worth discussing with your hearing care provider. **To learn more, visit our learning center or schedule an appointment anytime at https://utahhearingaids.com
