I have tinnitus from heart meds. I've found tapping the back of my skull with both index fingers 20-40 times reduces it considerably. Not sure if it's placebo or not, but it does the trick for me.

The tapping back of skull has been reported a few times here and other places. I suspect it is a very common fix (even if temporary) for people on hackernews:

First time I did it, it was profound. I hadn't realized how much I missed complete silence.
