That would depend upon the cause. In most cases there is no connection. If tinnitus is caused by hearing damage, there is no treatment of which I know. If caused by brain damage, very rare, then there might be treatment related to working with the brain.
Vertigo might be caused by damage to the part of you ear that helps with balance. That is permanent. If caused by brain damage instead, who knows. People who have been near large explosive blasts sometimes have both. People who have been subjected to extreme psychological stress might have one or another. The psychologically induced symptoms may not be permanent. Usually those go away with time, but they can be permanent. Blindness is more common from stress, but anything can happen.
In short, I know of no real treatment. Talk with your doctor. Personally, I am learning to live with hearing loss and tinnitus. It's not fun. I also wear hearing protection to try to keep what hearing I still have. The irony is that tests show my bad hearing to be normal.

There are many treatments that are effective for tinnitus resulting from a particular cause, but none are effective in every case. Conversely, tinnitus may resolve without any treatment. Effective treatments include:
*Objective tinnitus:
Gamma knife radiosurgery (glomus jugulare), Shielding of cochlea by teflon implant, Botulinum toxin (palatal tremor), Propranolol and clonazepam (arterial anatomic variation),
Subjective tinnitus:
*Drugs and nutrients
Avoidance of caffeine, nicotine, salt, Avoidance of or consumption of alcohol, Zinc supplementation (where serum zinc deficiency is present), Acamprosate, Etidronate or sodium fluoride (otosclerosis),
Lignocaine or anticonvulsants (usually in patients responsive to white noise masking) Carbemazepine, Melatonin (especially for those with sleep disturbance), Sertraline,
* Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine,
*Chiropractic Adjustments to the spine and/or tmj.( Temporo-Mandibular Joint),
*Electrical stimulation
Transcranial magnetic stimulation or transcranial direct current stimulation,Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, Direct stimulation of auditory cortex by implanted electrodes,
*Surgery
Repair of perilymph fistula,
*External sound
Tinnitus masking (white noise)
Tinnitus retraining therapy.
Auditive stimulation therapy (music therapy)
Compensation for lost frequencies by use of a hearing aid.

La enfermedad de oír ruidos en la cabeza (zumbidos, pitidos, etcétera) se llama acúfeno. Aproximadamente la mitad de la gente sufre de acúfeno alguna vez en su vida, en un grado más o menos reducido, como los típicos pitidos que escuchamos en nuestra cabeza (mi madre decía que cuando los escuchaba, es porque alguien estaba hablando de mí).
Sin embargo, en casos más graves, estos síntomas pueden producir dolor de cabeza, problemas para dormir (pues empeoran en el silencio de la noche) o incluso problemas psicológicos.
Tratar el acúfeno o curar el acúfeno es pues uno de los objetivos principales para los que lo sufren, puesto que la alternativa es horrible. Te dejo aquí un enlace para que descargues lo necesario, un saludo.
