I researched a method and read up on the theory behind it on the internet a few years before the pandemic. Not sure if newer articles are based on the same material I read.  Here's the basic theory I took away:

Since the brain is busy turning up the gain for frequencies the ears no longer hear, you can train your brain not to amplify your tinnitus frequency/frequencies by doctoring up music and listening to it.  I forgot how the doctoring was done in the method I read about, but IIRC it involved adjacent frequencies that could be detected by the ear.  I'll have to see if I saved links to that material.  But as I understood it from a psychology of music perspective, it was sort of related to masking, but where the adjacent frequencies (hence "notched") allowed the brain to not try so hard to make up for the one it couldn't detect.

I am missing the details and I might have some of this wrong, but it sounded credible to me.

At the time I was sitting in on some public lectures given locally by someone from IRCAM who turned me on to some other research regarding tinnitus.  I forgot the name of the principal investigator, but I recall another article that talked about at least one other systematic method of distraction that resulted in lowering the distraction of tinnitus. 

Nothing I read about used electro-shock therapy on the tongue (or any place else).

You do know you can add notes to every track in your project yes?

Actually, no, I didn't know that. And I have no idea how to do it.  I can put textual notes in the note browser, but notes on individual tracks?... Google AI says this can be done through the event list. Huh? I think they're meaning musical notes, not textual notes.

In my ancient SONAR from around a couple decades ago, it's done in the track properties dialog; I can put in around 30,000 characters IIRC.  (might be 32k to do the binary thing, can't remember...never used that many).

There is a notes pane in the Inspector for each Track.  

In the Track View there is a notes pane in the header for each individual Take Lane. And there is a notes pane in the header for all Track Folders.
