Gwen and all,
If you find yourself in that situation, get yourself good hearing aids
and wear them all the time during your waking hours. In most cases,
that will reduce the tinnitus drastically or eliminate it.
Your brain will soon figure out that it does not have to invent sounds
that produce the tinnitus. Yes, you will need the help of a good
audiologist to get the customized programming for your particular ears
set right for you - which frequency bands need amplification and by how
much is not a trivial undertaking.
The DSP programming in modern hearing aids is really amazing. I don't
know how they get so much function in such a small device.
They are expensive, but well worth it.

I should probably see an audiologist someday. I've had nasty tinnitus as
long as I can remember. I spent most of my youth around loud musical
instruments, having begun playing brass instruments in 3rd grade. I've been
in many loud environments since, even though I don't recall it being a lot
of times until around 2001, when I got into shooting. But I always used
really good hearing protection.
