The most common causes for a tinnitus headache:

Stress:  The most common cause of tinnitus headaches is stress and anxiety, which is difficult to cure, being that the symptom of constant  ringing is what's causing the stress.  In order to alleviate the stress, the following therapies can be used.  Relaxation therapy, yoga, hypnosis, meditation, and massage.

Sleep:  Lack of sleep can be another cause of a tinnitus headache. Many tinnitus sufferers don't get adequate sleep anyway due to the constant ringing. There is one method that has been successful at helping tinnitus sufferers get a good night's sleep. It's called masking. Masking is simply the use of any device which emits a sound that helps cover up the  ringing or buzzing sound that  tinnitus sufferers experience. Many people use their CD or I-Pods to play relaxing music or nature sounds to drown out the noises and help them fall asleep.

Diet: If you drink a lot of caffeinated beverages or alcohol, you might be prone to experiencing a headache caused by tinnitus. Sensitivity to certain foods might also bring on a bout. So, it would be wise to pay attention to what  you're putting into your body prior to the onset of symptoms and eliminate what you think may be the cause.

Tinnitus Headache Treatments:

Acupressure:  There is a pressure point located in the space between your thumb and index finger that could help in easing the pounding in your head. You can apply pressure to this area by gently squeezing with the thumb and index finger from your opposite hand.

Drink Water: Whenever you feel a tinnitus headache coming on, try drinking more water. Your headache could be caused by dehydration.

Try Aromatherapy:  Dab a little peppermint oil on both temples and the back of your neck. Peppermint is known to be a powerful pain reliever.

Take a Bath: You might be able to get some headache relief from tinnitus by taking a hot bath or applying a heating pad to your neck. This can help loosen the tightened muscles caused by tension and stress.

Ginkgo Biloba: Not only is Gingko beneficial for tinnitus sufferers but it has also been known to cure tinnitus headaches.

Tea:  Peppermint, chamomile, Marjoram, Cinnamon, and Valerian.  These herbal teas have been proven to reduce stress and anxiety.
