Ben,
I think that you should probably make an appointment with your local
audiologist. Keeping track of your hearing status should be something
that a person with tinnitus should do. Ask someone in your area to
recommend an Ears, Nose, and Throat physician who has a good audiologist
on staff.
Good Luck...
