The ENT advised that there is still no cure for tinnitus. How on earth can this be a fact?

It is true...most cases of tinnitus can't be cured because it is the result of nerve damage...often from listening to music that is played to loudly.
Depending on the cause of the tinnitus, sometimes it can be treated with drugs or surgery. If your tinnitus is untreatable, there are several things you can try to make it less bothersome:
avoid caffeine
avoid nicotine
zinc supplements may help
use a white noise machine or a ticking clock
avoid loud sounds, music and noises
exercise daily (improving your circulation can help)
avoid fatigue as it will intensify the ringing
try to ignore the ringing
if you have a hearing loss, a hearing aid with a "tinnitus masker" may help

Please don't panic. I know that many experts will tell you that there is no cure but my boss unearthed this website http://www.t-gone.com that gave her a lot of support in determining the root cause of her tinnitus problem. Surely worth spending some time there.
