Tinnitus in one or both ears is not uncommon. Many times there are no identifiable causes. Age and exposure to laud noises are sometimes implicated. With the diagnostics noted above normal, Best to manage with help of PCP, Audiologist or ENT consult.

Another MRI is almost certainly to be normal, and your insurance will not cover it. The likelihood of finding a lesion to explain tinnitus is virtually nil. There is NO medication or supplements which can suppress tinnitus, but wonder about your diagnosis. Has there been consideration for Meniere's Disease?
