Why is there no help for Tinitus?

Question:

I have had bad Tinitus now for just over two years, it started after a cold I had. Ihave been everywhere to get help and no one can. The ringing is mainly in my left ear and its there 24/7, I really dont think I can cope anymore, my wife and friends know I suffer from it but I dont really think that they understand what I am going through, I cant handle this anymore, I dont want to live with this anymore, no one can help me, I am trying but I feel so bad and depressed all the time, its like "whats the point " I just cant take it anymore, I wish I had a wish so this can stop, I know there is no cure so I dont even know why I am asking for help, but if anyone can please help me.

Answers:
When tinnitus can't be help it is because it involves nerve damage. Unfortunately, we are not medically advanced enough to repair nerve damage. That is why it is so important to impress on the young not to play their music so loudly and, on those with noisy jobs, to use ear protection.

Since your tinnitus is untreatable, there are several things you can try to make it less bothersome:
avoid caffeine
avoid nicotine
zinc supplements may help
use a white noise machine or a ticking clock
avoid loud sounds, music and noises
exercise daily (improving your circulation can help)
avoid fatigue as it will intensify the ringing
try to ignore the ringing (easier said than done)
if you have a hearing loss, a hearing aid with a "tinnitus masker" may help

I hope that you will find one of these strategies helpful. My husband also suffers from tinnitus and he finds that white noise helps him. Good luck!
