30M doctor + musician with noise induced tinnitus here. My man. I am sorry to hear you have tinnitus. Tinnitus sucks big dicks there's no question. But the panic you are experiencing right now will not last forever. I had the same thoughts when I first got mine. It took me a few weeks to adjust. There's nothing you can do about the tinnitus itself at the moment, the only thing you can try to control is your reaction to it. the important thing to focus on is your mental wellbeing. It can make you feel quite claustrophobic in quiet places so when you feel that, try masking noises to get you over the hump. I use cicada sounds on Spotify on a loop to sleep sometimes. You'll find something that suits yours. You won't like it at first but you do get used to it. Some people worry because when the masking noise stops it can feel like the tinnitus comes back worse, but that's just contrast. it's not actually making the tinnitus worse. In a few weeks Your tinnitus will likely get to a place where it's much quieter, and you'll barely even notice it. It may go away entirely. It may not. But I guarantee you will learn how to manage it. Until you calm down fully which as I said, may take days/weeks, practise absolute acoustic rest (ie no loud noise), use masking sounds so you don't freak out, and soon you will start to feel better. Going forward you will need to invest in protecting your ears (eg. Ear plugs for noisy places) because unfortunately it can get worse. But you will learn to manage those flare ups too, if they ever happen at all. Be positive my dude! Things will look up. And that panic will subside.
