Tinnitus treatment
There are many treatments that are effective for tinnitus resulting from a particular cause, but none that is effective in every case. Conversely, tinnitus may resolve without any treatment. Effective treatments include:
Objective tinnitus:
Gamma knife radiosurgery (glomus jugulare)[18]
Shielding of cochlea by teflon implant[19]
Botulinum toxin (palatal tremor)[20]
Propranolol and clonazepam (arterial anatomic variation)[21]
Subjective tinnitus:
Drugs and nutrients
Avoidance of caffeine, nicotine, salt[22] [23]
Avoidance of or consumption of alcohol[24]; [25]
Zinc supplementation (where serum zinc deficiency is present)[26][27][28]
Acamprosate [29]
Etidronate or sodium fluoride (otosclerosis)[30]
Lignocaine or anticonvulsants (usually in patients responsive to white noise masking)[31]
Carbemazepine[32]
Melatonin (especially for those with sleep disturbance)[33]
Sertraline [34]
Chiropractic Adjustments to the spine and/or tmj.
Electrical stimulation
Transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation [35][36]
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation[37]
Direct stimulation of auditory cortex by implanted electrodes[38]
Surgery
Repair of perilymph fistula [39]
External sound
Tinnitus masking (white noise)
Tinnitus retraining therapy[40][41]
Auditive stimulation therapy (music therapy)[42]
Compensation for lost frequencies by use of a hearing aid. [1]
Ultrasonic bone-conduction external acoustic stimulation[43][44]
Avoidance of outside noise (exogenous tinnitus)[45]
Psychological
Cognitive behavior therapy[46]
A Tinnitus FAQ lists many other potential therapies.
Although there are no specific cures for tinnitus, anything that brings the person out of the "fight or flight" stress response helps symptoms recede over a period of time. Calming body-based therapies, counselling and psychotherapy help restore well-being which in turn allows tinnitus to settle. Chronic tinnitus can be quite stressful psychologically as it distracts the affected individual from mental tasks and interferes with sleep, particularly when there is no external sound. Additional steps in reducing the impact of tinnitus on adverse health consequences include, a review of medications that may have tinnitus as a side affect, a physicial exam to reveal possible underlying health conditions that may aggrevate tinnitus, receiving adequate rest each day, and seeking a physician's advice concerning a sleep aid to allow for a better sleep pattern.
A newer approach to tinnitus treatment, developed by The Ear Research Foundation, involves clinical psychology. The role of the psychologist, as a vital member of the treatment team, is to assist patients in “retraining their brain” so they can deal with their tinnitus and minimize the difficulties it creates in their lives. While working with the psychologist, patients are taught new ways to live with tinnitus, manage stress, and improve the quality of their life.

Tinnitus is an annoying condition affecting the ears, which can seriously diminish a person's hearing. A multitude of distracting sounds such as ringing, hissing and buzzing can be heard which are often maddening and interfere with daily life. Tinnitus often develops after exposure to loud noise, ear infections or injuries affecting nerve endings. Conventional medicine has no cure; however, there are certain holistic and natural treatments for tinnitus, as well as home remedies, that can alleviate its effects, making it easier to hear.
Natural home remedy using basil leaves:
1. Take a handful of basil leaves
2. Crush them to a paste
3. Press this paste on a sieve
4. Extract the juice
5. Heat till lukewarm
6. Put 2 drops in the affected area
7. Repeat 2 times everyday

I've always had tinnitus and have never heard of such a cure. I just learned to live with it. So far the best way for me to get my tinnitus to go away (it's not a constant thing) is to plug my ears with my fingers for a few seconds. It usually goes away then.

hi.
i have only a minute but try checking yourself for
Hypothyroidism first. There are many ways to do this and do
them all.
Then also have a dentist look into TMJ.
You may also look into the following, but i'm only suggesting
this stuff because you seem desperate, but please do your
own research:
Neural therapy could possibly help.
The following supplements may or may not help.
Again do your own research and make your own decisions
but i've heard that these may be helpful:
1. Hydergine + Ternelin
2. Vit. B12
3. Gingko biloba herb has supposedly helped some
And you may want to call the following person for help.
I've heard that he's had success with your condition.

Ive had tinnitus constant for over 20 years. You will learn to live with it and adjust. I have days where i dont even recognize it eventhough its there 100% of the time. Your brain will learn to zone it out

We often see hypothyroid symptoms totally reversed when commits to a plan that supports balance through nutrition and daily self-care. Learn here https://tr.im/h0Ttz
Consume foods naturally high in B vitamins, such as whole grains, nuts, and seeds, and iodine (fish, seaweed, vegetables and root vegetables).
Exercise daily, at least 30–60 minutes per day, 4–5 times a week.
Practice deep breathing and other techniques that trigger the “relaxation response” – such as meditation and guided visualization.
