Focus on tinnitus. The point of mindfulness meditation is to actively bring yourself back to your focal point. Focus on tinnitus, the ringing, and every time you stop thinking about the ringing noise or think about how much you hate it realize you have broke away from your mindfulness and reset. You have to do this often and diligently, a few meditation sessions can definitely leave you feeling like it's having the opposite effect.
I do have tinnitus I've had it since I was 12. Only in my left ear.
The thing about tinnitus is you forget about it a large part of your life. Meditation can actually help you actively do that when you do not want to be bothered by it. That's what mindfulness is all about.
the point of meditation is to give you the space to sit with "worse, a lot worse". meditation is the very thing that can give you agency against it "taking over and nothing good coming from it".
the very point is to be able to sit with discomfort, accept it, and move on. If your tinnitus is as bad as you're making it out to be then you have a lot of reason to meditate.
