For tinnitus, I'd like to try sound therapy. I've had it my entire life so I'm good at ignoring it, but it's gotten quite louder in recent years. Sound therapy is supposed to help the brain focus on other things. You can also use hearing aides to help.
Hearing in my right ear is shot bad from radiation. (left ear is practically perfect) I was experiencing awful tinnitus. The hearing aid has definitely retrained my brain to not notice it. It's a really fascinating thing.

Has anyone successfully done “notch therapy” or sound therapy?

I can’t tell if it’s woo. Even if it’s placebo woo.

I asked doctor about it. Its apparently effective, not a placebo. It trains your brain to focus on other sounds. It will not make tinnitus go away, but it can make your brain focus less on it, making it less apparent.
