Brief Answer:
Hearing aids with masking sound should help

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Health care magic.

I have gone through your query and understand your concern. Tinnitus is usually associated with hearing loss. Hearing aids with masking sound usually make it much easier to deal with the problem of tinnitus. Vestbulocochlear stabilizing agents like betahistine and cinnarizine can also help.

Let me know if I could help further.
