My tinnitus is at the very upper frequency range of my ability to hear, right around 13,000 Hz (I'm 60). Fortunately, I don't notice it except in a quiet room.

extremely dumb question, but would a very loud 13kHz sound kill the cochlear cells that detect that specific frequency?

now we're onto something. shoot that tinnitus dead with high frequency sound lasers

Tinnitus is typically induced by exposure to loud noise in the first place, so your proposal could as well make it worse.

what if we make it even louder!!!

A few rock concerts should take care of that, then.
