These guys are right, you need a hearing test.  The only problem is whether or not the result is negative or positive you only have a reason, not a solution.  Tinnitus bothers different people at varying degrees.  It's important to learn all you can about this.  See some of my other posts.

I agree with Wear/a/Jimmy that you need a hearing test (audiometry).

Tinnitus is not caused by hearing loss, although it is associated with hearing loss. Get your hearing tested and see what you find.
