I have tinnitus due to a significant hearing loss and have recently been fitted with bilateral hearing aids, that news floored me just at a time I was feeling good. The bike has given me a new lease of life so to speak. Out doors I tend not to notice the tinnitus and after a good hard workout I forget all about the hearing loss. I'm out on the bike most days now and as you say, the physical and emotional benefits far outweigh the sitting in house twiddling thumb days/nights.
I also have tinnitus, although not as bad as you seem to have it.

There's a theory that it and depression are physiologically linked, in that the relevant parts of the brain are very close to each other.

Whether that is true or not, the ways of dealing with the conditions are very similar.
