multiple animal studies have shown that a common pathway for inner ear hair cell loss is damage from oxidative radicals. I identified 6 studies in animals that credibly show that astaxanthin is an antioxident that offers protection against oxidative injury to the inner ear. I could not find any human studies that support or refute that there is a benefit to humans. By contrast, there is substantial evidence that vitamin D3 offers protection in animals and humans.

For Tinnitus, try Astaxanthin 2 mg 1 softgel per day. This helped me until I learned that I'm allergic to it. Nevertheless, Astaxanthin can not only relax your inner ear, but it's beneficial to your eyes as well.
