I've developed tinnitus in my early 30's for no apparent reasons. I don't think I ever even abused my ears that much. It just happened... Initially, I found it very annoying but you get desensitized over time. Now, I hear it all the time, but it does not bother me much: I have better things to do that going crazy about something I can't much about.
I've noticed a few things though: the pitch is always the same but the loudness vary noticeably over time and it seem very linked to my level of stress. If I'm very relaxed, say peacefully hiking in sunbathed forest on a cool summer day, it can become so faint I can hardly hear it. But most of the time, unfortunately, it's pretty loud. When I still cared, I also noticed I could drawn it out with white noise, either natural (ex: a waterfall) or artificial.
