FWIW, here's my experience so far.
Been an audiophile since 1968, never a headbanger, but listen often in the 80-90 db range.
15 years ago, at age 60, I developed quite annoying tinnitus, loud enough that it competed with conversational level speech. I was concerned about deafness, a real loss for any of us. I had to "listen around" the noise to appreciate music. Ugly.
I found it was better if I listened nearfield, so I built up my office system, sitting 6 feet away in a quieter room.
After a few years it had not gotten worse, and after a few more it was getting noticeably better. By age 70 it was no longer an active issue, and now at age 75 it has gotten much better. I don't really notice it unless I choose to focus on it. Probably 75% better. Enjoying audiophile pleasures again.
I've read some theories that the brain can adjust, choosing to filter out the noise. In my case, perhaps so.
My purpose in relating this is to offer some hope that tinnitus is not necessarily a one way street. It can get better.
