I’m not sure how old you are, but can 42 year old me give you some advice? Go get a hearing test. If I would have known about my tinnitus at 22, I would have a noticeably higher quality of life at 42...

Why? What would they do?
I would stopped damaging my hearing almost a decade before I did.
I know I have tinnitus in one ear, it happened at a nightclub when I stood to close to a speaker. This was 10 years ago.

I'm perfectly happy with my condition, it's not getting worse and it's not preventing me from doing anything day to day.

What good would getting my hearing tested now do me in the future?

Had I known more about my condition, I could have saved my ears from nearly a decade of damage.
It's not really that bad, I only notice it when there is no other sound, then I can notice the high pitched ringing very clearly..
