Is there a best medicine for decreasing tinnitus?

No: I wish i could answer yes to this question. There are an assortment of medicines in tradtional and non-traditional medicine that have been tried but all with limited success or undesired side effects. Tinnitus retraining therapy has been successful in the management of tinnitus.

Benzodiazepines: Benzodiazepines are my choice for patients whose tinnitus prevents them from sleeping. Klonopin is especially effective. Other medications that help include ativan, Xanax (alprazolam) and valium.
