Sounds strange but here you go. I used to have a problem with this. Acupuncturist told me
1. Drink more water
2. cut back on the caffeine
4. get at least 7 hours sleep
3 and here's what sounds like the weird part. She gave me some herbs to take that were basically concentrated sweet potato extract.
Can't get the herb anymore, but start eating sweet potatoes when it gets noticeable and it goes away.
My older sister said that within in a couple months of trying this she could barely hear the tinnitus. Prior it was so loud it made it difficult for her to hear people talking.
It's not the beta carotene or the Vitamin A as supplementing with those doesn't work any where near as well. It seems to be a combination of compounds in the potato, not any one thing you can isolate.
And its not yams, but sweet potatoes you want, and the ones that are more orange than yellow in the middle seem to work better.
