if you want to treat this you first need to understand the source.

what caused your tinnitus ? the Mustard clinic says

“Tinnitus is usually caused by an underlying condition, such as age-related hearing loss, an ear injury or a problem with the circulatory system. For many people, tinnitus improves with treatment of the underlying cause or with other treatments that reduce or mask the noise, making tinnitus less noticeable.”

However what they do not say is that it may also be caused by many chemicals, and VOCs

do you have a car a leaky valve cover gasket ? do you have antifreeze vapors?

Did you start taking any medications in the months before this started being an issue for you ? many prescription drugs cause tinnitus in a small percentage of the population, after taking them for a few months, but often people do not associate them because of the time delay.

Also important to note is that when you stop taking the drug it may take several months for things to get back to normal.

I was told that it was all in my head. The brain misses hearing high frequencies and it recreates them. Sometimes I have total silence right when I wake up, then as soon as my brain boots up, the noise starts up.

Mine stopped when I quit Ambien. I occasionally still have a bout, but it stops.

It was really weird. Had it for about 4 years and one day it just went quiet.

such as age-related hearing loss

Don’t envy the solution to that one.
