Did you talk to the doctor?
Somebody told me about playing white noise, and playing something very quiet too might help.

i have not met him for a while already , and the tinnitus actually appear a few months later after my withdrawal of risperidone which i just took maybe for a week. I am not sure if it is related but the tinnitus never disappear since then.

Tinnitus

Read about tinnitus, which is hearing ringing or buzzing that comes from inside your ears , rather than from an outside source.

www.nhs.uk

I hope this is useful.
I think you should check with your doctor just to be sure that there is no other cause.

Causes of tinnitus
It's not always clear what causes tinnitus, but it's often linked with:

• some form of hearing loss
• Ménière's disease
• conditions such as diabetes, thyroid disorders or multiple sclerosis
• anxiety or depression
• taking certain medication – tinnitus can be a side effect of some chemotherapy medicines, antibiotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin
