It works on people with e specific birth gene defect named OTOH. So likely not helping with tinnitus.

Not directly, no, but here's hoping that it leads to something in the adjacent field of Tinnitus.

From what I've seen recently tinnitus research is moving into completely different direction as it seems related to sleep.

Does that cover those who were impacted by Rubella / German measles before birth?

It is from July last year. There seems to be no more update after that in this Science daily article.
