Does Cortexi work for tinnitus The short answer is NO. I'm Dr. Hamid Djalilian. I'm a professor of Otolaryngology, Neurosurgery, and Biomedical Engineering, Director of Otology and Neurotology at University of California Irvine, and the Chief Medical Advisor to NeuroMed Care. I have published over 300 articles related to tinnitus and hearing. I've been invited to speak about tinnitus and our new methods of treatment all over the country.
So what is Cortexi?
Cortexi is an herbal medicine that's being heavily marketed on various websites as a method of supporting or protecting hearing health. Because the company can't use the terms, "treat", or "cure", which are regulated by the FDA, they use a lot of descriptors such as "supports healthy hearing", or it "promotes healthy ears". By FDA regulations, you can't state that something cures or treats tinnitus unless it has been studied and approved by the FDA. Cortexi uses an affiliate marketing system, which is basically they have other websites that will do marketing for them, and they then direct traffic to the main website, and then the affiliates get a percentage of the sale. The affiliates tend to talk about tinnitus cure and tinnitus treatment, et cetera, which technically is illegal to do. So when you go on the official Cortexi website, you'll only see words such as "supports" or "promotes", but on the affiliate websites, you will see, things like "tinnitus cure" and "tinnitus treatment". There are also a lot of copycats that have come out, which are similar to Cortexi that are being promoted as ear drops that cure tinnitus. These are heavily marketed on social media groups, Google, and other types of websites, and they use the same affiliate system.
This way, the primary website isn't making any illegal claims, but the affiliates that are bringing in the customers say a lot of things that are technically illegal. And so if they are targeted by the FDA, then the affiliate site gets shut down, but then another website pops up and does the same thing, and the core business is protected.
So what's in Cortexi? They have a list of eight different ingredients that they say is in a proprietary formula, a total of 200 milligrams, which I should tell you is a small amount of all of these eight things together.
And the amount of each one is not provided, and so we really don't know how much of each of each one of those is there. What we can tell you for sure is that there is no evidence that any of the ingredients they list have any improvement on tinnitus, your hearing, or even your brain function.
Now are all supplements a scam for hearing? No, they're not, and we do use supplements. We only use things that are scientifically backed to show slowing down of the progressive loss of hearing that everybody gets with age. We also use scientifically backed supplements that have been found to have an effect on atypical migraine. Atypical migraine is a phenomenon that makes tinnitus louder And by using certain supplements for that, we have a benefit, but it has to be part of a comprehensive treatment.
It's not just you take the supplements that's goinf to fix your problem. You have to do a whole bunch of other things including lifestyle and dietary modifications, sometimes medication, sound and cognitive behavioral therapy, which altogether will substantially improve tinnitus in a vast majority of patient. But supplements alone are not going to fix your tinnitus.
I wish it did would be very easy for me and you to be able to have a supplement that does that.
So is Cortexi fake or legit? It doesn't appear to be legitimate. That's for sure. There's no scientific evidence for it. The so called scientist Jonathan Miller doesn't exist in any of the tinnitus literature. I go to all of the major international and national tinnitus meetings. I've never seen such a person give a presentation or talk about tinnitus and his herbal formula.
But if you talk to tinnitus expert, like myself, you're not going to find anybody who believes in something like the ingredients in Cortexi as a potential treatment for tinnitus. So short answer, unfortunately, Cortexi does not work, and it appears to be driven by a lot of very dubious and illegal claims about the treatment and cure for tinnitus. So my advice is stay away.
