It still doesn't even make sense. How does something that "induces long term depression" have a separate effect of "reduces evidence of tinnitus"?

Are they saying this stimulation that apparently cures tinnitus also causes depression?

Dudes.

Ok, TIL, I thought it was cronic depression. But still, I see no reason to risk causing actual cronic depression via repeated noise trauma.

It means "switch off the nerves", not "make them sad".
