Low carb and extreme low calorie have both been reported to help.  If Atkins
makes yours worse, it may be due to its emphasis, after the first two weeks, on
high salicylate content veggies.

Low carbing seems to improve my T.

If no cause can be found after various tests have been performed,
then it is most likely due to MUSCLE TENSION.
Please see a massage therapist - trusted chiropractor,
physiotherapist, aroma therapist etc.
See if there is tension in your body. Ask questions of the therapist.
Where is the tension?
What can I do about it etc?

Then ask your self: What am I doing during the day that could be
causing this?
Do you clamp a phone in your neck? - get a headset.
Are you sitting badly? - improve your posture.
Is your computer positioned correctly?

Is the monitor at eye level - no peering up or down.
Is the keyboard roughly at your waist level?
Is your chair comfortable? no slouching.

Do you drive a lot? see travel tips

3. A relaxation exercise by an internet ENT, Dr Murray Grossan:
http://www.tinnitusrelief.net/

I had a brief episode some years ago. I had become aware of muscular
tension by this time, so I got rid of it as soon as I could.
I had been a passenger in a a car on a long trip. After driving for 2
whole days I began to feel as if an iron band had grown around my
chest. When I bent down to pick something up off the floor the PT
kicked in.
My seating position had not been what it normally is when I am the
driver. I usually have a cushion in my back and sit up straight.
Because I was a passenger I thought this was not so important. But I
was wrong.
I put the cushion back and sat upright for the next week. The PT went.

Elly, my patient had been to Chiro, Orthopedist, Psychiatrist, etc for his
headaches.
When he bought the 3 dollar seat cushion for his car where he had been
straining to see over the hood, his headaches were gone.
Tinnitus is never that easy but can be helped.
Whatever therapy you do go to, unless they prescribe EXERCISES for you to do at
home, find another therapist.

Hi Murray,
I certainly agree with the exercises bit. I have had neck exercises on
my webpage for years.

And as you now have also pointed out - one needs to look at the whole
person including his lifestyle. Just looking at the ears is not good
enough.

Assar Bjorne in Sweden is doing just that with great success.
