As a person with a hearing deficiency, I would suggest going to a hearing specialist.. I believe they can do something about your tinnitus..
According to my ear guy the brain sets up a memory of sound vibration input.. The memory can be restored if the brain can recieve the souniids lost.. or totally lost if repair measures aren't taken.
I don't know how relative this info may be in youe case, but i may help decide on a reseach direction..
hopefully you don't end up with hearing aids.. they are a pain in the butt..
Good Luck
