They always have to do more research, they never actually try anything on humans in the USA. This will be in clinical trials in one thousand years. Maybe.

I wonder if this technology can be applied for the treatment of tinnitus?

While this video is mostly about restoring hearing to older individuals, I'm not really a fan of the way they say people are "reconnecting to the world" --as if implying that people are completely cut off from society/isolated just from hearing loss. I know there are some deaf people would fiercely disagree, and even take offense to that statement, and even as a hearing person, I was a little taken aback. .
