It is estimated that around 80% of patients referred to tinnitus clinics can be helped simply by relevant examination and reassurance
For those needing more treatment the approach varies among professionals and countries but is usually multidisciplinary. There is no cure for tinnitus in the common sense of the word–no drug has been proved effective in attenuating not to say abolishing tinnitus for an appreciable proportion of patients. Antidepressants or nocturnal sedatives may deal with the effects of tinnitus for highly emotional patients for a short period while the underlying psychological disturbance is being treated.
With a few exceptions, surgery specifically aimed at eliminating tinnitus is obsolete.

It's important to say that tinnitus is a symptom and not a disease. Some people will have tinnitus because their Cochlea is damaged. And in a few, it could be caused due to hearing loss. But of course, the most common cause of tinnitus is exposure to loud noises. The noise can be a sudden burst, or it could be a constant banging that hits the ear drum and travels inside.

Have a check-up by an otolaryngologist or care from an audiologist. If your productivity or enjoyment of life is altered, a health care professional can assist you in making your condition more manageable. It's recommended that anyone who experiences tinnitus seek medical attention to rule out any physical problems. If you have hearing loss along with tinnitus, see your health care provider for help with both problems. Use a masking device. These emit low-level sound that can help reduce or eliminate the perception of tinnitus. Listening to static on the radio at low volume also can help. The maskers or radio static help you to ignore the tinnitus and fall asleep. Try a table-top generator. Relatively inexpensive, these offer enough pleasant external sound, such as sounds of a babbling brook, ocean waves, or forest life, to help people ignore their tinnitus. Drug therapy may help. Medicines are available that may ease tinnitus. Still, further research is necessary to confirm the effectiveness of pharmacologic treatments for tinnitus. If your doctor prescribes a medication for tinnitus, ask if there are any side effects.

Check out The Aspirin Alternative by Dr Michael Loes. He discusses the use of a product called Wobenzyme in treating tinnitis.

I lowered my salt intake, and listen to only quite music.
