Hi and thanks for the query,
Yes it is true that there is no cure for tinnitus.
But it can be masked.
Keep the radio playing when it is quite.
Tinnitus maskers are also available. Ask your local ENT specialist.
Do not pay attention to the sound. The more you pay attention to it, you will feel that it is getting louder and affecting your daily activities.
Gradually you will get used to the sound and it will not bother you anymore.
