  You believe the polyclinic doc? I don't think he is even trained or has the equipment to detect nerve damage.

  Ahhh..... tinnitus.
  
  While researchers are still trying to figure it out, most think that it's due to nerve damage. You see, the ear picks up all sorts of noises, which the brain nullifies through a countersignal which cancels out the noises through destructive interference. If the nerve endings are damaged, the noises may no longer be picked up, but the brain would still continue sending these countersignals, leading to the ringing sound you hear.
  
  I had this back in JC... simply put, I was spending a lot of time on my Discman while studying.
  
  The music doesn't have to be loud to cause damage... if I remember correctly, sounds as low as 70dB can cause tinnitus if exposure is over a prolonged period (as was the case with me).
  
  There are no real long-term solutions in the long run, except to remove the most obvious sources of loud noise from your surroundings and to keep yourself busy to remove your focus from the sound. On my part, I use speakers where possible whenever I listen to music to reduce the intensity of the sound.
  
  If you're lucky, the tinnitus may resolve itself as the nerve endings heal.

  My tinnitus more or less resolved itself after a few months. It took a lot of willpower to overcome it especially when I'm trying to fall asleep.
  
  Even so, till now I still get recurrences for no apparent reason.
  
  Just take it one day at a time and keep yourself occupied with other things to take your mind off the ringing.

  As far as I know, tinnitus will not lead to deafness unless if the exposure to loud sound is enough to destroy the eardrum... which, I believe, isn't the case when it comes to you.
  
  Just be sure to remove all sources of loud noise where possible... tinnitus in itself shouldn't get worse so long as you take steps to reduce exposure to loud sound.
