Utilize masking noise. Tinnitus is usually more bothersome when the surroundings are quiet, especially when you are in bed. A competing sound such as a ticking clock, a radio, a fan or white noise machine may help mask tinnitus. Small hearing aid like devices which generate a competitive sound may help reduce the awareness of the tinnitus. You may combine such maskers along with herbal & homeopathic remedies.
According to the American Tinnitus Association (ATA), there is no known cure of tinnitus, at least with the conventional line of medicine. For a long time though, herbs & herbal formulas have come to the rescue of these tinnitus sufferers.
Tinnitus is usually due to damage to the microscopic ends of the hearing nerve in the inner ear. Perfect hearing is possible only if these nerves remain healthy and any damage to these nerves results in tinnitus or hearing impairment.
Some herbal remedies exist which can be used to support all body systems involved in helping the ear to perform its tasks of clear hearing and balance, as well as the circulatory, cardiovascular, and nervous systems.
Some of the most common herbs & biochemic tissue salts used are
• Ginkgo Biloba is excellent for a number of cerebral and circulatory disorders. It is probably the most widely-used herb for tinnitus and many sufferers swear by this natural ingredient.
• Rosemary dilates and strengthens blood vessels and is an excellent circulation tonic. Rosemary is particularly useful for tinnitus that is caused or worsened by high blood pressure and other circulatory conditions.
• Avena Sativa is effective in reducing high cholesterol levels which can contribute to circulatory problems which cause tinnitus.
• Wild Hyssop is also useful in reducing pain and inflammation.
• Salicylic Ac. (30C) is indicated for tinnitus with loud roaring or ringing sounds, which may be accompanied by deafness or vertigo. This remedy is particularly useful in people whose symptoms began with a bout of flu, Meniere’s disease or long-term use of aspirin.
• Ferrum phosphoricum (Ferrum phos. D6) is a homeopathic biochemic tissue salt which supports the absorption of iron in the body. The protective myelin sheath which surrounds all nerve tissue needs iron to supply this vital nutrient to the nerve cells it encases. Regular use of Ferrum phos. can help to prevent dizziness, headaches and restlessness and is of great benefit for those who tend to feel irritable, tense and tired.
• Magnesium phosphate (Mag. phos. D6) well-known as a homeopathic painkiller, Mag. phos. is also of great benefit to the health of the nerves. It acts as a natural anti-spasmodic and a nerve and muscle relaxant and is also frequently recommended for stress headaches.
Hope all this helps
Good Luck!

I can empathize, as I had constant tinnitus for 12 years.
It is possible to alleviate tinnitus – there are a number of things which claim to help tinnitus, and I can personally attest to Sound Therapy working, as that’s what I used to get rid of my tinnitus. It is a listening program developed by an ear, nose and throat specialist which you use at home on a daily basis. It took 6 months for mine to completely go, but after the 2nd month I was aware of it decreasing in intensity, and I wasn’t aware of it nearly as much.
I’ve since learned that there are a lot of things that can trigger or exacerbate tinnitus, so staying away from those things where possible helps! There’s something like 260 medications which are known ototoxins, plus anything which is a stimulant, such as caffeine, aspartame (sugar/sweetener substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, diet soft drinks and pretty much anything labelled as “low fat”), MSG, can also make tinnitus worse, as tinnitus can be the result of hyperactive neurons in the brain which are firing even though there is no stimulus causing them to fire.
Other things to avoid are smoking (anything!) as it restricts the flow of oxygen to your ear and brain, and alcohol.
