I got tinnitus a few years ago and the only thing which reliably helped was drumming my fingers on the back of my head, just above the neck. It silenced the ringing for a few minutes. However, the annoyance went away by itself after a few years. If I focus I might be able to hear it still, but it's hard to tell.
