Tinnitus
I also have Tinnitus and I had concerns just like you. I asked Michael a similar question and I think it was Jodie that replied. Below is what was said.
My tinnitus is also very similar to yours, it is with me all the time. I have been told by doctors that there is nothing that can be done apart from adding such as "white noise".

Hi there Michael,
Tinnitus is that "ringing" people hear in their ears. I believe the most commonly accepted medical explanation is that the person is actually hearing the movement of blood through the capillaries inside the ears, but I'm not sure if everyone in the medical community accepts that as being the complete answer. In any case, entrainment waves are not perceived as musical tones because they are so slow. The lowest frequency the human ear can interpret as having a musical pitch to it is 20Hz. The vast majority of entrainment programs target Alpha waves or below and all of these are lower than 20Hz. So Tinnitus, while it is heard as a sort of high-pitched ringing in the ears, would not be masking or competing with entrainment waves since they are not going to heard as a pitch anyway. They will just be those "beating" or "drumming" sounds if they are consciously heard at all. And no ringing in the ears will impair the beating or drumming, so Tinnitus should have no adverse affect.
