                        I have had tinnitus for 15 years.  One solution I have tried is to get a masker fitted for your ear.  It emits a hissing sound that "neutralizes" the noise of the tinnitus and helps a lot.  Also, remember never to take aspirin which can aggrevate tinnitus (in some cases start it up) and avoid loud noises.  Some areas of the country have a support group for this.    I have tried gingko biloba and believe it does help a little.  There is a national organization for tinnitus support.  Write me back if you would like the address.    Marilyn
