Alternative treatment for tinnitus?

I have Tinnitus,sadly, there is no cure. All she can do is teach herself to ignore it.

The best chance of getting rid of tinnitus is finding out the real cause for it, sonmetimes it's not so simple. This is from an article about little known causes and treatments, hope it helps: Tinnitus Treatments by Real People 1. Fill your world with sounds. Become a music person. If not music, than talk, anything in the background helps. Try a Zen like water fountain in your home, which works great too. You can sea sounds at night to help you sleep. Get a sound machine and play cricket sounds or ocean sounds. This will let you fall asleep. 2. Practice meditation. Silent meditation can do wonders for tinnitus (and any other health problem). Doing this can help you to hear the tinnitus sound objectively, recognize it and acknowledge it. Then you can move on in a more mindful way. 3. Ban artificial sweeteners and MSG from your diet. I can’t tell you how many stories I read about people curing their tinnitus (even after 10 years!) after eliminating artificial sweeteners and MSG from their food. These substances can also cause dizziness. You must avoid it completely (no more Chinese food orders!) and it takes a few weeks to work, but it could be the reason for your tinnitus! 4. Exposure to carbon monoxide – This is reported to be a potential cause for ringing in ears. Anyone with a gas stove or kerosene heater in their home or going to the garage with your car running to get warm in this cold weather can cause ringing in the ears. Also, if you started smoking much more before the ringing started should be aware that it could be the sudden raise in carbon monoxide that triggered your tinnitus. 5. Do not go to concerts without hearing protection. Do not be exposed to loud sounds (like construction sites) at all. Do not listen to your music player at excessive volume. 6. Don’t let tinnitus become a part of your personality. Don’t allow yourself to spend all day worrying and thinking about it. Many people have noticed that spending too much time on tinnitus forums actually makes their ringing worse! The idea is to stop thinking about it and not concentrate on it at all. 7. Don’t wear ear plugs where ever you go. Excessive use of ear plugs can make tinnitus worse and lead to hyperacusis. 8. Tinnitus homeopathy – I was surprised to find a few people having success with homeopathy treatment for the ringing in their ears (I was surprised because I don’t really believe in it…); the product they mentioned was Tinnitus Control. 9. A few people that suffer from poor blood circulation in the ear reported some relief using a product called Native Remedies TinnaRex Tinnitus Treatments Top 15 Tinnitus Relief Solutions – By Real Tinnitus Sufferers . It contains homeopathic ingredients and herbs such as Ginko Biloba, Rosmarinus officinale, Verbena officinalisis and Salicylic ac (30C). 10. A little known cause for tinnitus is the alignment of your jaw and upper neck. These can be checked by your doctor and treated (watch out from chiropractic adjustments – people are testifying that it makes tinnitus worse!). To support your neck better, use a thick pillow at night. That way, the slight “cracking” of the joints doesn’t shock the inner ear and trigger tinnitus for a day or days on end.. There's even more at the source...

Sometimes using "white noise" (water sounds etc) can help lower the intensity of it. No, no cures.
