Tinnitus can be caused by a number of factors, including otosclerosis, labrinthytis, middle ear infection, obstruction due to excess cerumen, decreased blood flow to the vertebral artery, viral infection or some theorize a decrease in the neurotransmitter serotonin since it suppresses sensitivity to light and sound. The treatment will depend on the cause, but I've seen fish oils help due to their ability to decrease inflammation and gingko biloba has helped in one case. Most cases that I've seen have had a post-viral cause and responded well to natural anti-virals

It is important to consider that it is not normally the symptom that needs treating but the underlying root cause i.e. the trigger. As you may appreciate physical symptoms are connected on a psychological level and vice-versa. I have worked with clients with severe tinnitus symptoms and seen great results using Bioenergy Healing.
