There is a therapy that involves isolating the frequency of the sound and then bombarding you ear with sound on that frequency until your brain filters it out. There are apps for the iPhone that can generate tones on the appropriate frequency.
My case is milder than yours (more of a hissing) so I haven't pursued this treatment; Just heard about it from an ENT.

My VA hearing aids have that feature. It does help at the frequencies that can be accurately reproduced, but like most will say, nothing really helps.

Sound therapy works for about 5% of the users. What works for me are the Widex hearing aids which produce chromatic sounds around the frequencies that are missing. Remember, tinnitus is always associated to hearing loss at specific frequencies. It is not your ears, its your brain that is trying to fill the gap.
