I have tinnitus and have been to various doctors and researched various “cures”. I believe there is no cure for permanent tinnitus. The best advice I received was to find a way to simply accept it as a fact of life. I have, and it doesn’t bother me that much any longer. For me, the worst is silence. All I hear is the ringing. I have a white noise generator for going to sleep, and music via headphones has been a wonderful distraction. Tinnitus is what brought me back to the headphone hobby. I wear headphones most of the work day and it has really increased my quality of life.
