I agree with your request to have the option to turn the sound effect off. Your reason, a medical one, is as valid as any can be and should be addressed by the devs!

...or maybe just EQ that frequency out of the mix?

Exactly @ChugKendall ,
Honestly, all players can do this on their own end anyway already.
If any player do not like or get ill/discomfort from any loud deep sound rumblings, bomb blasts, or high screaming sounds from missiles, shots or whatever. Go to your audio settings and tone down the select frequency ranges as you like.
Tinnitus is for the most part triggered for many sufferers by frequencies from 5k Hz and above. So typically setting this down to a reduced level or entirely removing it will help. This is just one of many great apps that can help doing just that on PC:
Standard these days also on most tv/monitor sets and also your headsets.
Like for the PS4/PS5 users, if you use the PS Gold or Platinum headset, the No.2 option allows custom settings through headset manager and you can turn treble ALL the way down which helps with how sharp certain sounds are.
Personally I use the Sennheiser brand, both wired and wireless models for most part comes with a EQ function so you can set the frequency bands to match your personal preference.
Gun shots and explosives that used to flare you up bad will be muted down to the level you define, to enable you also to have some fun in gaming despite the often chronic condition that tinnitus can be.
Changing the frequency range? really?
What if a player does not have the technical knowledge to tone down a very specific range of Hz's (likely most of the community)? Wouldn't it be easier to have an option to disable that effect?
