Hi, lyrica is indicated for neuralgia which is essentially abnormal sensation such as tingling.It is commonly used in diabetics who have neuropathy.
In terms of the tinnitus, there is a possible suggestion that it may help however further studies are required to determine whether should be another indication for it. At present it is not indicated to treat tinnitus.
