What are herbal or natural tinnitus remedies?

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.
