Can't offer much help, but I'm right there with you.
For me it was an hour in a loud bar last month. With earplugs and headphones. Didn't help much. The inability to think clearly is making it especially hard to find some kind of distraction.
There are some experimental procedures being tested, but to be honest I was always too scared to actually research any of them.
Let me save you time. Tinnitus treatment is an industry of charlatans.
Those neurons in the brain are gone, it leaves a gap in your auditory range which the brain fills with noise. It also makes the remaining neurons more sensitive so you need to wear hearing protection for areas like movie theaters and music venues.
There is no treatment, other than behavioral therapy to teach you to ignore the tinnitus. There are no upcoming treatments, nothing even at the lab stage so nothing is coming for at least a decade. What research was being done on tinnitus has been cut completely by Trump, so there is no hope for the future.
