Read something that really helped me, dunno if it's helpful in all cases.

It said that tinnitus is often caused by your brain realizing it can't hear well in that range and then trying to jack the amplitude way up to compensate.

Given this, I plug the ear involved, or sometimes both, and concentrate really hard on hearing that specific tone, not just letting it annoy me, but really focusing on it. Usually solves it in 30-90 seconds, sometime 2-3 attempts, but has worked with in that time frame 90% for me.

May have some or no effect depending on cause, but can't really hurt to try, no drugs, no doing something terribly goofy.

Man! I wish I had to plug my ears to concentrate on just that sound.
