The makers claim

“the supplement targets the root cause of tinnitus and cures it for good.”[1].

What is the treatment?

Sonus Complete is a capsule. The suggested use is 2 capsules taken daily.

The ingredients of Sonus Complete are listed as Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, niacin, Vitamin B12, garlic, hibiscus flower, olive leaf, hawthorne berry, uva ursi, green tea[2].

What are the downsides of this treatment?

Potential side effects, allergic reactions and drug interactions from constituents.[3-12]

Cost – this supplement currently is on sale for $69 for one month’s supply excluding shipping and taxes.[1]

Has there been research into this treatment?

There have been no papers published on Sonus Complete as a supplement, but there have been a number published on its component parts.

What does the research say?

There is no evidence that any of the known components of this supplement are effective for treating tinnitus.[3-12]

Although some of the components are thought of as safe, some may be harmful including Vitamin B6 and Uva ursi (if taken for prolonged periods)[4],[11] and green tea in large doses[12]. Uva ursi should be avoided in pregnancy.

Although independent evidence is limited, what there is does not show that the components
of this supplement are effective for tinnitus and that there may be risks involved in taking
this supplement. We would suggest you talk to your GP before taking any new medication or
supplement.

“Dietary supplements should not be recommended to treat tinnitus.”[14]

Note that the retailer’s website states “Products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or
prevent any disease.”[1]
