For some patients, medications such as amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and alprazolam can help reduce the symptoms of tinnitus. At home, patients can help manage this disorder by avoiding loud sounds, cutting out caffeine and nicotine, getting plenty of rest, and trying not to focus on symptoms. Relaxation techniques like acupuncture and massage are helpful for some individuals. Getting a professional evaluation with a correct diagnosis is the first step toward treating tinnitus.
