Sleepless with tinnitus

I have a tinnitus since November 2008. I took sleeping pills and various anti-depressive medications (Clonex, Cypralex). I gradually stopped taking the medications. The tinnitus has intensified since then. It is now a constant loud hiss that may turn to high pitch noise, possibly accompanied with headache.  

Nights are the toughest times. I wake up after at most two hours of sleep with intense tinnitus and headache. The "cure" that I find useful for that is a hot shower, that messages the head, for few minutes. The shower allows me to get another two hours of sleep, again waking up with intense tinnitus and headache. After that I cannot sleep anymore.

Dozing is terminated similarly with the same intense tinnitus and headache.
