I am sorry. I can offer only sympathy. I am very happy, that I have not yet a tinnitus by hearing damage.
I had a pinched nerve for about two weeks from cramps in the shoulders that afforded me a like noise in the ear.
It drove me nuts. I am very thankful, we figured out what it was and were able to treat it.
That let me to think, though and to promote amongst my students and clients hearing protection.
I by no means want to add insult to injury, pray believe. I felt this thread, unfortunately, such a strong advocacy for HP, that I felt compelled to comment.
