Is there a cure for tinnitus?

The short answer: It depends on the cause of your tinnitus, so it's always best to consult your doctor.

If your tinnitus is being caused by something that can be treated, such as a neck injury, your tinnitus can improve once that improves.2

With other causes of tinnitus, such as hearing loss, there isn't a cure. Fortunately, there are effective options for alleviating the symptoms and preventing further development. Your hearing and well-being go hand-in-hand, so by managing your tinnitus, you can live a more full, present, and joyful life.

What are the most effective treatments for tinnitus?

1. Sound therapy

Soothing ocean-like sounds, for example, can help dull tinnitus sounds and make it less noticeable in quiet environments.

2. Hearing aids

Can shift your focus away from your tinnitus to the sounds around you. Some devices also have built-in sound therapy for additional relief.

3. Relaxation & mindfulness
Yoga and meditation have been shown to be helpful in relieving tinnitus symptoms.
4. Professional therapy
Mental health specialists use modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, to help with tinnitus and improve quality of life.1
5. Hearing protection
Earplugs, for example, can offer ear protection in noisy situations and help prevent your tinnitus symptoms from intensifying.

What is the latest treatment for tinnitus?

For many, sound amplification (through hearing aid use) effectively manages tinnitus symptoms.

Sound therapy is also a helpful tool, and certain hearing aids come with a built-in program for it. While sound cannot eliminate tinnitus, it can make your tinnitus less noticeable and help shift your attention away from it. Together with your hearing care expert, you can find the sound therapy that provides the most relief.
