Habituation is a process by which a T paitent is helped to:
(1)get used to and accomodate the T
(2)accept the T as a part of self
(3)allow the body to treat the T through the slow recovery of whatever
that has gone wrong in the body.
However, the process of habituation does need medicine or exercises.
Both medicine and exercises are necessary because they *facilitate* the
the process of habituation. *All* the medicines and exercises I have
tried for the past two years are meant to improve both the blood
circulation of the body, which enables body parts' recovery, wherever
they are located in the body, and muscle relaxation, which leads to
better rest of the body.
Unfortunately, none of the doctors I have visited--about 15 of them--
has ever explained habituation in a conceptual manner. But then again
they are doctors...and just doctors.

I think (3) is not habituation. Habituation either assumes there is
nothing else wrong, or it assumes that whatever else is wrong can't be
fixed.

I partly disagree. There is nothing else that doctors can tell with
their limited intelligence and available equipments. The second half
of your statement makes more sense. For example, if a patient's inner
ear has been plucked out, there is not much that can be done. But in
most cases doctors don't know what causes it but given a chance the
body may do something to 'treat' it. And the body needs help. One of
the better forms of helping out is through blood circulation. Your
aching foot needs to have its circulation improved.

That's not habituation. That's healing. In habituation, the tinnitus
stays, and you get used to it.
