Over the years several treatment options have been developed for reducing the effects of tinnitus on psychological and health aspects of individuals and further improve their quality of life.

This review article accommodates rudimentary information on variety of traditional and modern management techniques available in treating tinnitus which might help the concerned professionals in planning an effective management program by selecting the appropriate technique or a combined approach for better prognosis.
