Since my husband is one of the unfortunate sufferers,  describing it as like having a tribe of crickets living in his ear, I sympathize most profoundly with those who have tinnitus.

Previously, I have heard suggestions that Ginkgo Biloba helps, but it certainly didn't help him: so I am happy to be able to bring this snippet about research on melatonin and ringing in the ears to his attention.  Now, if I can just get him to try it for more than 3 or 4 days - he has (excuse the sexism) a somewhat masculine approach to his health, best described as "what doesn't kill me I'll ignore"
