Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thanks for posting the query

Tinnitus is a symptom of various causes. The common causes include:
1. Eustachian tube (the tube connecting nose and the ear) block
2. Fluid in the middle ear
3. Damage to the sensitive inner ear or auditory nerve
4. Any vascular malformations in the middle ear
5. Fixation of the middle ear bones
6. Temporo-mandibular joint issues
7. Cervical spondylosis
8. Perforation of the ear drum, etc.

We need to find the exact cause and try to treat the same. If all the above causes are ruled out then one can try Intra-tympanic gentamycin, tinnitus maskers or hearing aid.

Hope this answers your query; Revert back to me if you have any follow-up queries.
