Despite the growing number of studies, treatment approaches remain fragmented and inconsistent. This umbrella review aims to aggregate results from systematic review to comprehensively synthesize the available evidence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Following PRISMA guidelines, we systematically searched CINAHL, COCHRANE Library, PubMed, and Scopus through April 2025. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses of primary tinnitus interventions were included. Outcomes focused on validated measures of tinnitus severity, distress, loudness, and quality of life. Study quality was assessed using AMSTAR-2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      A total of 44 systematic reviews were included, covering 7 intervention domains. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), hearing aids, tinnitus retraining therapy (TRT), and sound\/music therapy consistently improved tinnitus-related outcomes (eg, THI reductions up to \u221214.50,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001). Cochlear implantation yielded the largest effects (eg, THI \u221229.97) but is reserved for patients with moderate-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss who are not adequately helped by hearing aids. Neuromodulation and acupuncture showed modest or inconsistent benefits with high heterogeneity.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This umbrella review provides the current and comprehensive analysis of tinnitus treatments.
