Information What can I do? Treatments Examining tinnitus treatments Everyone who suffers from bothersome tinnitus wants something that will make their tinnitus go away. If you browse the internet or read newspapers and magazines, you can easily find people or organisations who will offer a method that claims to cure, or at least reduce, tinnitus. This could be in the form of medication, such as pills or injections; herbal supplements; devices and gadgets or different types of therapy and hypnosis. The list of "cures" is long, and getting longer. Some of the information you read will be about effective, evidence-based treatments. And some will be about treatments which haven't even been tested. There may even be suggestions you try treatments that are dangerous. This page lists a number of treatments and gives our verdict on them. If you click on the treatment name, you can see the decision-making tool we used to come to that verdict. We provide verdicts on two aspects of each treatment: Safety - whether the treatment will do you any harm Efficacy - whether the treatment works for tinnitus Don't forget, if you want further information on managing tinnitus, explore this site or call our helpline on 0800 018 0527.
