Medications used in treatment of Tinnitus

Lorazepam or klonazepam (in low doses). These are "benzodiazepines" (Gananca et al, 2002)
Amitriptyline or nortriptyline (again in low doses). These are "tricyclics

What To Do If You Have Tinnitus ?

Avoid exposure to loud noises and sounds.
Decrease your intake of salt.
Avoid stimulants such as caffeine and nicotine.
Exercise daily, get adequate rest, and avoid fatigue.
Avoid ototoxic medications known to increase tinnitus such as aspirin, non-steroidals and quinine containing preparations.

Diet:
We recommend that persons with tinnitus limit salt (no added salt), and refrain from drinking caffeinated beverages, other stimulants (like tea), and chocolate. The salt restriction is intended for those who might have a subclinical form of Meniere's. Caffeine and similar substances increase tinnitus in a nonspecific fashion. Otherwise the diet should be balanced and have normal amounts of fruits and vegetables.

Maskers
are based on the idea that tinnitus is usually worst when things are very quiet. Listening to the interstation static on the FM radio, tapes of ocean surf, and the like may be helpful
