Aww, it was just a tangential connection to this situation. Sorry if I disappointed you.
Unfortunately recovering the dead cells in the inner ear is impossible at the moment. One option is Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) as a form of non-invasive treatment. 40% of patients reported improvement although is experimental at the moment. Other approaches use deep brain implants.
The moment we find a cure for Parkinson that's when we probably also find a cure for tinnitus. Let's be hopeful and wait.
