YES! Unfortunately I couldn't tell you how it went away as it just went away over time and never came back. Not even trolling.
Had a mild(?) case of tinnitus from about 17 to 20 years of age. Haven't really even thought about it since then but in my case the prime suspect was probably loud music. During that time period I was super depressed and angry at the world so I used to listen to loud heavy metal music nearly all day every day from my earbuds.
I stopped doing that because of the tinnitus, but it lingered on for long enough such that I can't draw a clear link between the music and tinnitus. Other potential suspects have been quitting dairy, cigarettes and weed, which I also quit in that same time period as the loud music.
If I had to guess, it was probably damaged stereocilia as @RelativeDelta mentioned.
