    The Apple press release (linked at the beginning of the article) mentions it though:

    While there’s no guaranteed method to prevent tinnitus given its complex causes, practicing hearing protection and managing stress levels can lower the chances of tinnitus. In the study, participants cited “noise trauma,” or exposure to excessively high levels of noise, as the primary cause of tinnitus (20.3 percent), followed closely by stress (7.7 percent).

    (My emphasis.)

      Ah my mistake. Admittedly (and likely intentionally) a brief mention at 8 words within a 500-word piece, but I suppose better than not mentioning it at all. Thanks for highlighting that info and my glancing over its inclusion in the piece.
