Any luck treating Tinnitus?

Has anyone here experienced any luck with any form of treatment for tinnitus? Mine has worsened over the past couple of years and it's becoming maddening at times. I made this video and got as close as I could to what I'm experiencing. It varies quite a bit, this is the general 24x7 sound in my head. I have not heard silence since my childhood.

The first step, imo, would be a visit to an audiologist as tinnitus is a sign of hearing loss. (My partner had tinnitus and it was resolved with hearing aids)
A good resource might be

I would also recommend staying away from earbuds and headphones until you are assessed by a professional.

I've had significant hearing loss in my right ear since childhood due to repeated serious sinus infections thanks to two parents that smoked constantly. I've seen audiologists before, I have the graphs of my crappy hearing. The tinnitus exists separate from my hearing loss.
