Ringing in my ears

I have been having a sensation of ringing in my ears for the past few months. The doctors gave a diagnosis of tinnitus, which they said has no cure. Kindly advise me on what to do.

While the exact causes of tinnitus are not fully understood, it has been linked to the following: Noise exposure.

Tinnitus is also the most common service-related disability among veterans because of loud noise they may have experienced from gunfire, machinery, bomb blasts, or other similar sources.
