how does a hearing aid correct for tinnitis?

I have permanent though currently modest hearing damage and persistent tinnitis of several different sounds at the same time.

it's clear I'm going to have a hearing aid in the coming years as my dad does also, even though unlike me, and he was not a drummer that stood next to speakers in clubs, but he doesn't have the tinnitus.

It amplifies the ambient sound so it drowns the tinnitus more.
