Please see an ENT: doctor. He/she will provide help. There are special hearing aids that help. If you are not on blood thinners, a supplement called ginkgo biloba can be taken but ck w/doc. Peace and good health.

Masking is possible: There is no medical treatment for tinnitus. Patho-physiology is now understood to be an increase in synchronous electrical discharge in the auditory nervous system. An audiologist can match the pitch and intensity of the tinnitus and sometimes, this masker (hearing aid) can decrease the awareness of the tinnitus. Also identify if you have a hearing loss. Unilateral hearing loss needs diagnosis
