I’ve had tinnitus for ~20 years. I’ve tried everything (as far as I can tell), and by far sound therapy has been the most effective. It’s basically the same techniques used to manage chronic pain, but used to teach you how to minimize and even ignore the perception of tinnitus. It’s not a quick fix, but I went from being constantly consumed by my symptoms to not realizing I have a constant ringing in my left hear almost all of the time, and being ok with the ringing when I do notice it.
The other thing that had worked has been tinnitus masking hearing aids. It’s basically noise cancellation for tinnitus. It’s not perfect and I don’t use it anymore, but when I was learning how to deal with tinnitus it was valuable in giving me temporary symptom relief.
