You can try get acupuncture treatment, it can stop ear ringing.
In Traditional Chinese medicine it is known that Tinnitus (ringing in the ears) indicates you have kidney deficiency. Acupuncture and herbs should help you out gradually.
There are a few different underlying causes for ear ringing (tinnitus). Almost none of them respond well to any kind of treatment.
The most common cause of ringing in the ears is repeated exposure to loud noises (earphones, concerts, car stereos, firearms, airplanes, heavy construction equipment, etc.) This type of noise causes cumulative, irreversible damage to the structure of the inner ear responsible for detecting and transmitting sound. Once the damage has accumulated to a certain point, hearing loss and tinnitus result. Getting hearing aids may help a bit, but it's not going away.
In my experience, the second most common cause is excessive tension in the jaw and neck. Usually this is associated with TMJ, TMD, and/or grinding the teeth at night. Dealing with whatever is causing this (usually stress) and getting the muscles to relax will improve any ringing, but it rarely goes away completely.
I don't like to dissuade people from trying to improve their situation, but tinnitus is extremely difficult to treat.
