I read all the previous answers and agree with most that it may be incurable as it is the sign of hearing damage usually due to loud noises (music, concerts, bands, and often in men, the use of many power tools.) I think it is important that you use ear protection even when mowing the lawn to help prevent further problems. Those squeezable earplugs are good.
I have used ear protection for years even at concerts. I discretely put some silicon earplugs in and loosen them just enough to hear and enjoy the music but not leave with my ears ringing. I hope they do find a cure for tinnitus as so many people suffer from it and the upcoming generation likes everything even louder, not realizing the consequences.

Could just be ear wax. Try syringing. See your doctor

Sorry to tell you this…Tinitus is not cureable…(unless it is caused by a medicine you might be taking—then when the medicine is out of your system, it MIGHT go away)
My husband has had this problem for many years, and has seen many doctors. There is no cure for tinitus unless it is caused by medicine.

Tinnitus may be caused by ear infections or over-medicating yourself, but it is also the first warning sign of hearing loss. Go see a doctor then get your hearing checked.

I switched my food and exercise around until it went away. Diet Dr Pepper did the trick for me.

Tinnitus is a common side effect of many medications especially asiprin. Check out your medicine cupboard and reduce your intake of aspirin if you take it.
