What is the treatment for tinnitus?
The most effective treatment for tinnitus is to eliminate the underlying cause. Unfortunately, the cause often cannot be identified so, in some cases, the tinnitus itself may need to be treated. Drug therapy, vitamin therapy, biofeedback, hypnosis and tinnitus maskers are types of treatments that have been helpful for some people. The American Tinnitus Association (ATA) Web site has information on various treatment options. Visit http://www.ata.org or write them at PO Box 5, Portland, Oregon 97207.
