i probably didn't express my self appropiately, i was refering to the noise you hear after listening for loud and distorted sounds for a long time (This usually last for a relatively close amount of time) . Not the tinnitus caused by water in the ear or a virus etc... people who suffer this constantly obviously are waiting eagerly for a cure, i experienced this for some months but hopefully it disappeared.
In fact probably you don't understand what tinnitus is in this case, we have very sensitive cells in our ear, when this cells are exhausted their way to express that they're working too much and being damaged is this particular noise, they'd express this as pain but there are no nerves attached to them.
The side effects of hearing tinittus is a degradation of the sound you listen, mostly you lose the ability to perceive high pitched sounds, age is the most important factor but little things that aren't very obvious also case damage to you (I think this is widely known but someone may find it interesting so i will point out some daily routines that damage your ear)
-Using headphones (loud volume)
-Driving with your window down at high speed
-Crowded streets, packed with cars and specially in maintenance with drills etc...
-Pop Music
