I've suffered from bilateral tinnitus for many many years, mine is a constant background 'ringing' noise, I always have to have some kind of 'other' low-level background sound to counteract it (radio at night, radio in the garden).
Not 100% what has caused it but I used to spend a lot of time in the sea, and one time stupidly dived into a very deep swimming pool going straight to the bottom, when I came up I was deaf for 3-4 days! Plus I was unwell probably 15years ago and was hospitalised on regular IV antibiotics (gentamicin) for over a month, I've read that tinnitus is a potential side-effect.
