Interesting discussion going here with a coupla misunderstandings methinks.
Once you have tinnitus, the chances are pretty good that the inner ear damage to the cilia (fine hairs) in the cochlea are permanent. In my opinion it does not matter what type of amp you use, the damage was done.
The way forward is to protect the remaining auditory senses by having special in-ear hearing protectors made that is attenuated to say something like 95 decibels. Normal speech is still possible but the higher frequencies and sound waves will be blocked out. With the lower frequencies such as a bass and drums it is advisable (not always possible) to wear a muff which protects the auditory bone behind the ear against low frequency noise transfer.
Rather protect what you have else one may not be able to distinguish between Tube vs SS sound at all.
