Tinnitus treatment: Studies have shown that there are no effective treatments for chronic subjective tinnitus, however, there are several treatments for anxiety that can help you get some sleep. A white noise machine is an excellent idea. White noise can help mask the ringing in your ear and relax you. There are specialized tinnitus clinics at academic medical centers. You can contact a physician on Healthtap to help
