Is there any treatment for Tinnitus?

There is no cure for tinnitus, but there are treatments that give patients some relief.

Treatments might include:

Hearing aids. Many people with tinnitus also have a hearing loss. Wearing a hearing aid improves your ability to hear the outside world and can mask the internal sound of tinnitus. The better you hear other people talking or the music you like, the less you notice your tinnitus.

Maskers. Maskers are small electronic devices that emit a "white noise" to make tinnitus less noticeable. Maskers do not make tinnitus go away, but they make the ringing or roaring seem softer.

Medicine or drug therapy. Some medicines ease tinnitus. If your doctor prescribes medicine to treat your tinnitus, he or she can tell you whether the medicine has any side effects.

There have been a number of over-the-counter herbs and treatments such as gingko biloba that have been touted as being useful. None of them has been proven effective in clinical trials

Tinnitus retraining therapy. This treatment uses a combination of counseling and maskers. Physicians and therapists can help you learn how to deal with your tinnitus better, and the maskers can make the tinnitus less noticeable. After a time, some people learn how to avoid thinking about their tinnitus. It takes time for this treatment to work, but it can be very helpful.
