Zero chance, unfortunately. The cause of tinnitus is not with the OTOF gene.

The best case scenario is that this wouldn't do anything.

There is also active development for tinnitus/noise induced hearing loss. Dr Chen from Harvard is working on it. He was also involved in the research linked in the article. They are getting closer to a cure. Here is an interview with him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJr86MUYJ8M
