I just got tinnitus from hiking up high altitude too quickly in the Himalayas (and it was probably exacerbated by the malaria medication I have been told...stay away from that malaria medication unless it's absolutely necessary.) It got so bad I was almost suicidal so I can understand your concern. Some people use a type of hearing aid that puts out white noise to help cover up the ringing.
Fortunately after a few months mine went away but it comes back every now and then, although not as intense as originally. Doctors told me that it may go away permanently and then again, it may come back even worse.
It's truly a curse. The only thing that worsens it is alcohol...i think.
