Ive had tinnitus for 20 years. I follow possible cures quite close. Right now the closest to a scientifically proven cure is Susan Shore's device (combination of vague nerve stimuli and sound).

There are other possible treatments but their are off label. Brazil scientists had good response with actamprostate, but no follow up was done. There are other medicines that seem to yield good results but usually have several secondary effects.

Some research has linked tinnitus with Epilepsy. It seems the brain lack of control / filtering of signals is common for both.

Unfortunately a real cure still seems far away.
