I initially looked at that document along with some ESA descriptors and somehow came up with 6 points. But I'm unable to locate the source.

I do know that if your tinnitus is presented along with Hyperacusis then it becomes a physical hearing issue that can place you in danger.
I have also seen the Addenbrooke's clinical scientist Doris mentioned but there is no cure as yet. Some people may be helped by maskers, CBT etc.
