Not every word has an opposite. This is a physical, medical condition like influenza, pneumonia, or cancer. There is no opposite of any of these conditions.

I wonder whether the adjective tinnitusless (a sort of neologism, I think) is acceptable (I'm a non-native). It is not exactly the opposite of the noun in question, though.
