lexi,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. I have not heard of the nettle tea remedy. There has been serious research to find remedies for tinnitus. None have been found to be reliable. Your tinnitus may be related to blood pressure but many of us have suffered tinnitus for years with no relation to blood pressure. My BP ranges from 104/68 to 118/78 which are all good BP's. My tinnitus gets louder and quieter but never goes away.

The reliable way to tolerate tinnitus is to learn to ignore it. Sometimes, other sounds can help create a different audio focus. The concussed brain struggles to ignore sensory stimuli. Getting stuck hearing tinnitus leads to anxiety which makes the tinnitus appear even louder.

Please feel free to tell us more about yourself and your concussion symptoms. There are plenty of great people here who can support you and suggest ways to reduce or work with your symptoms.

My best to you.
