Perhaps only if you agree beforehand that any deafness caused wont be
treated by the NHS.

And what treatment would that be?

Counselling springs to mind, as do hearing aids to assist those with less
severe losses.

Oh you mean the normal "sorry mate, you've got tinnitus, there's not an
awful lot we can do for that"?

What about the effects of tinnitus? e.g. It's possible that one could lose
their job as a result of developing the condition. Being faced with the
dole (and having to find work) after a lengthy spell in employment might
come as a shock.
