I had tinnitus when I was about 20 for multiple months after dancing in front of the loudspeakers of a club.

They gave me a TEBOFORTAN, as well as cortisone infusions over several weeks.

It was bad enough that I could not concentrate on learning for university. I heard before that psychology plays a big role, so I was trying my best to just ignore it and do something else than studying.

It completely went away. I can hear a very small ringing if I concentrate on it and its completely silent, but I had this for as long as I can remember (definitely when I was 4 years old) and I wouldn't call it tinnitus.
