Tinnitus can be an awful condition depending on the level of severity.
SSRI are used often to help with conditions with associated with excess neural stimulation so it is possible that it would be helpful for you.
Persons react differently to medication so it would be difficult to predict your response but hopefully it would work as you need it to.
