My husbands tinnitus made him crazy....up all night....went to doctors who only handled nerves in the ears...etc...nothing help..forget the c coffee and aspirin, it will not take care of your problem...if it does, only temporarily. Years ago, WM SCHAFFNER from starwars was on TV and said he got a divorce over his tinnitus.....he finally found the UNIV of Maryland who helped him... My husband immediately called the University and got an appointment. At the time there were 2 doctors that worked together on it. After lots of testing, he was made 2 large ...maybe different now....white noise looking hearing aids. He wore them daily for 2 years...during waking hours. They retrained his brain to know that the noise was not threatening. It was a miracle for him. No drops,, no docs, no clinics helped...only these devices. He no longer needs them and is able to have a normal life. That was 20 years ago.....it works. I would think Mayo Clinic has the program too. Good luck!

@2beagles Interesting . I,ve had tinnitus for over 30 yrs . ENT told me there wasn't anything that could be done about this . My son told me about a white machine . Maybe I'll have to try it .

Thanks for sharing about this remarkable treatment, @2beagles. Your husband must be relieved. I will try to research and see if other places nearer to me have this kind of treatment.
