The Best Tentative Treatments of 2026
Dr. Ben Thompson breaks down 18 tinnitus treatments across 4 tiers of evidence, from the ones to skip to the ones worth your time, in one video.
Free, no obligation, about 15 minutes.
- FDA-authorized medical device
- Telehealth in all 50 states
- Care led by licensed audiologists
- Over 3,000 tinnitus patients helped
What you will learn
- How a tinnitus treatment gets evaluated in the first place, what strength of evidence means, how much change it actually produced, and which patients it was studied in.
- The difference between something that quiets the sound for an hour and something built to produce lasting change in how much room tinnitus takes up in your day.
- Where the widely marketed options land on the evidence scale, including supplements and basic sound apps, and the reason they sit where they do.
- Where medical devices, hearing aids, and structured therapy land, and which kind of tinnitus each one was really built for.
- How to tell which tier your own case belongs in, so the next thing you try is chosen on purpose rather than at random.
Why most people never hear this
Plenty of patients go years without a single clear recommendation. That is not because they were careless about it.
Most physicians are trained to rule out anything dangerous, confirm there is no tumor and no infection, and then move on. Building a tinnitus treatment plan was never part of that fifteen minute visit.
So the sorting gets handed to the patient, who is left comparing supplements, apps, and conflicting advice with no way to tell which of it has evidence behind it. Nobody ever put a real plan in front of them.
Closing that gap is the entire reason this video exists, and it is the work Dr. Thompson and his team at Treble Health® do every day.
Who this is for, and who it is not
Signs of a strong candidate
- Tinnitus that is constant rather than occasional
- It interferes with sleep, focus, or daily life
- Moderate or greater severity on a standard assessment
- You have already tried some things without lasting relief
Reasons this might not be the first step
- Severe sound sensitivity, which usually needs its own workup first
- Tinnitus that pulses in time with your heartbeat, which needs medical evaluation
- Mild or occasional tinnitus, where the evidence base does not apply
- Certain contraindications, including a pacemaker, epilepsy, pregnancy, or active oral lesions
If one of these applies to you, a Doctor of Audiology can tell you what the right first step is, even when that step is not a device.

Questions patients ask
Now you know where the evidence points
The tiers make one thing clear. Some options only quiet the sound while they are running, and a smaller set has real research behind it. What the video cannot tell you is which tier your own case belongs in.
That takes your history and your audiogram, reviewed by a Doctor of Audiology. The first conversation is just a conversation.
