There was some theory that tinnitus was caused by the higher frequency=shorter, sensory hairs being laid flat.
It was suggested that magnetic pulses could 'revive' them. I spent hours with magnetic devices pressed against my ear. It was ringing at a wide range of audio frequencies and at pretty high energy. All it did was to give me a hot ear.
I have no connection whatsoever with the adds that sell pills for tinnitus.
