Patients with tinnitus caused by auditory nerve damage can also gradually recover. After the onset of the above symptoms, patients may undergo symptomatic treatment with neurotrophic medications under a physician’s guidance. Additionally, complementary therapies such as massage and acupuncture may help improve symptoms and alleviate the condition. Without effective treatment, however, hearing loss may develop, and tinnitus symptoms may even worsen.
