While this might not treat tinnitus, it would preserve what hearing you currently have. Trust me, lose that and you'll learn about somewhat expensive head jewelry and never hear people properly in big parties or loud pubs again...

I was told that the ringing in my ears was a side-effect of the brain trying to fill in the missing information from lack of hearing. It's more a windy sound than ringing and I don't notice it when wearing the aforementioned head jewelry. YMMV

It won't cure my existing tinnitus, but it will prevent it from occuring. For me, it's not continuous, but triggered by loud noises. No loud noises, no tinnitus.
