Question: Does anyone know any cures for tinnitus?

I have had a constant ringing in my ears for several years. My hearing is still good, but I never experience total silence.

Have you been to an ENT specialist? Checking it out won't hurt anyone. However tinnitus unfortunately has no cure till now but there are ways and means that you can learn to deal with it better. Some people find that leaving the radio or soft music on at night helps distract them from the ringing. There are also tinnitus maskers and certain relaxation techniques that may help. Some people even find that anti-depressants have a good effect. I'm sure your doctor can brief you more on the options available and which are best for you

I don't mean to be rude but you need to see a psychiatrist for your ears ringing, seriously.

There is no cure for tinnitus. The exact reason that it occurs is unknown as well-there are many reasons a person can develop tinnitus. There are some things that you can try to resolve it. An over the counter med, Niacin, can be taken increase the blood flow and possibly control the tinnitus. If your hearing is diminished this can also be the problem. Tinnitus is basically a problem where you hear all the internal noise that your body is making. If your hearing is too decreased a hearing aid will decrease the tinnituy

I have it too, and was told acupuncture works for some people. I tried it, but it wasn't successful. As far as a cure, I haven't ever found one, and have been told by a few doctors there isn't one. Sorry. I know what a cummy thing it is. I have resorted to falling asleep with my tv or headphones on to mask the noise.
