I've had tinnitus since always. It gets worse sometimes, due to Meniere's Disease, or if I've been exposed to particularly loud noise (generally I try to avoid loud environments and excess sodium, to keep those things in check). I'm not bothered by it, especially. It can be annoying in everyday situations, as I sometimes can't hear what people are saying (say, in a food court).
As for energy work, the tinnitus has never had an effect one way or the other. Same with meditation. I sometimes actually listen to the ringing as a means of focus, in fact. Mostly, I just ignore it.

Honestly, I haven't heard true silence ever in my life, that I can recall. It hasn't affected me in any significant way. I understand that it can be annoying, but until and unless it goes away, you're going to have to come to terms with it.

Interesting. Deep seated anxiety and unpleasant emotions are surfacing and now you don't want to continue with the practice that caused this to happen, and you have a "reason" to avoid it. See what I see?

Yes, of course.

If anything is, it's some part of yourself that misguidedly believes that avoiding the anxiety and other yucky feelings that are starting to show up as you do the work are things best avoided and left alone.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
