A Clinical Evaluation of Calcium and Fluoride Supplementation for Tinnitus in Non-Surgical Otosclerosis: Insights from a Tertiary Care Center in Romania.

ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives: The management of chronic tinnitus in patients with otosclerosis presents a considerable clinical challenge, particularly as to those who are either ineligible for or reluctant to undergo surgical interventions. Surgical interventions improve hearing levels and may provide relief from tinnitus; however, medical research is also focused on alternative non-surgical treatments aimed at symptomatic improvement. This is particularly relevant, considering that otosclerosis currently has no definitive cure, despite the existence of various surgical techniques and oral therapies. This study evaluates the effects of oral calcium and fluoride supplementation on tinnitus severity in otosclerosis patients who opted for non-surgical management. Materials and Methods
