Steroid injections into the middle ear also do not seem to be effective. Botulinum toxin injection has been tried with some success in some of the rare cases of objective tinnitus from a palatal tremor. Caroverine is used in a few countries to treat tinnitus. The evidence for its usefulness is very weak. The use of sound therapy by either hearing aids or tinnitus maskers helps the brain ignore the specific tinnitus frequency. Although these

White noise generators or environmental music may be used to provide a background noise level that is of sufficient amplitude that it wholly or partially 'masks' the tinnitus (tinnitus masker). Composite hearing aids that combine amplification and white noise generation are also available. Numerous other non-TRT methods have been suggested for the treatment or management of tinnitus.
