Is there a cure for tinnitus?

The short answer: It depends on the cause of your tinnitus, so it's always best to consult your doctor.

If your tinnitus is being caused by something that can be treated, such as a neck injury, your tinnitus can improve once that improves.2

With other causes of tinnitus, such as hearing loss, there isn't a cure. Fortunately, there are very effective options for alleviating the symptoms and preventing further development. Your hearing and well-being go hand-in-hand, so by managing your tinnitus, you can live a more full, present, and joyful life.
