Subjective tinnitus, especially that associated with age-related hearing loss, can be treated with hearing aids , noise generators or other masking devices, biofeedback , antidepressant medications, or lifestyle modifications.
It is defined as either objective or subjective.
Some cases of tinnitus can be treated by removal of the underlying cause. These include surgical treatment of impacted ear wax, tumors, head injuries, or malformed blood vessels; discontinuance of ototoxic medications

Tinnitus is a symptom itself. There are two types of tinnitus 1. Objective tinnitus ( which can be heard by your doctor with a special listening device) 2. Subjective tinnitus ( heard only by the patient) Tinnitus is the perception of sounds by a person that are not in the outside world. Approximately 30 million people in the US suffer from it daily. It is treatable in 90% of cases by ENT physicians. For more info about tinnitus go to: <a href="http://theheardoc.com">Hearing Loss: Facts and Fiction</a>
Many people report a "ringing," "buzzing," or "roaring" that others cannot hear. Sometimes the sounds "pulse" with the person's heartbeat. But rather than blood "whooshing," those sounds usually turn out to be subjective head-noises known as tinnitus. Most tinnitus is harmless; some can be treated. People who experience subjective head-noises might want to consult with a physician to ask whether the symptom needs attention or whether the noises can be diminished.
Current research suggests that stem cell therapy may hold potential for treating tinnitus, but more studies are needed to determine its effectiveness.
Tinnitus and pain have many similarities. Both are subjective sensations that may turn chronic, they are often accompanied by hypersensitivity in their respective sensory system, and overlapping brain changes have been observed. Since no population study has examined the empirical association between chronic pain and tinnitus, the present study aimed to explore the relationship in a general adult population. We used data from the seventh survey of the Tromsø Study (2015–2016). Participants (aged ≥40) responded to questions about pain and tinnitus. Using multiple logistic regression, we analysed the adjusted relationship between chronic pain and tinnitus in the full sample (n = 19,039), using several tinnitus definitions ranging from tinnitus >5 minutes within the past 12 months (broadest definition) to at least weekly and highly bothersome tinnitus (strictest definition).

While tinnitus often cannot be treated, there are some natural and herbal remedies that can help lessen the symptoms. Doctors recommend lifestyle changes such as reducing or ceasing alcohol consumption, avoiding exposure to things that exacerbate your tinnitus (caffeine, nicotine, or loud noises for example), or covering up the noise. Using ginkgo biloba is also recommended, though some studies show it provides a benefit and other studies show it does not. Zinc is also recommended in cases of age-related tinnitus.
