I am extremely sceptical of this because I follow the research for tinnitus and last year a brilliant study came out showing that Tinnitus appears to be caused by the brainstem being overdriven to compensate for nerve damage. I suspect the brainstem being inflamed, which happens in a variety of conditions cause (Long Covid among many others), could likely do this without the nerve damage and also cause auditory sensitivity as a result.
People have been trying these movements and other treatments based on the fundamental premise of "brain retraining" and they have never shown and efficacy. Whereas a surgery on a damaged nerve has already been shown to completely eliminate the condition in a person and it looks very likely this will be the answer in the coming years.
I haven't been involved in some time, but I saw a reduction in my tinnitus while experimenting with Steve Gibson's "transcranial neural stimulator." His idea has gone through several revisions (and names) since then, all documented in his newsgroup[1] dedicated to the experiment. It started out as a sleep aid, but as it progressed many ancillary benefits to its use were discovered.
Any people here who tried it and have gotten temporary or permanent relief?
What about insurance? Do they pay for it? Last time I checked it was EXPENSIVE.

Oh Lenire. I can't believe the FDA approved them with such terrible methodology. More promising IMO is what Auricle/UMich is up to. They have actual controls in their studies for one.
