A bit of a thread revival, but I'm a subscriber of a popular youtube channel SciShow, and they've a great video I just watched on the mechanics of tinnitus. I.e, what actually causes it and why it's permanent. It seems the cells which detect the vibrations get broken, and don't repair, they then go faulty, reporting sounds they haven't heard.
I don't have a job where this is an issue for me, and while a hobby of mine is woodwork, I wear ear protection while using certain tools out of comfort rather than protection, it's obviously providing protection along the way. I do have some incredibly powerful headphones which is an experience to listen to them at full volume, but I'll be more aware of that in future to make sure it's not a regular thing.
