Otolaryngologist / ENT Specialist Dr. Sumit Bhatti's  Response
1. One option is to mask the tinnitus by using hearing aids.
2. You are probably a candidate for BAHA (Bone Anchored Hearing Aid). Is your hearing loss conductive, sensorineural or mixed?
3. Transtympanic steroids (dexmethasone) are of help in half the patients I treat.
4. Tinnex (Carvoverine) is a newly launched treatment.
