Same here, though perhaps not as bad. The quieter the environment, the more the tinnitus is noticeable. My assumption is that the less input the ears are getting the more the brain compensates. I also assume that other noises can just distract us from noticing it.
I admit that I really don't notice it much. It's primarily when I *think* about it. Like now because I'm typing about it.

I'm a UPS guy, so 22 years of driving a package car then on to big rigs have done my hearing zero good. I wear a Bluetooth in my right ear when I drive, and I honestly believe that is what has saved that ear (I can hear the ringing in there as well, but nowhere as bad as on the left).

Yeah, no clue what did my ears in. I used to walk around with a Sony walkman and headset all through high school and college. Probably that as much as anything.
But yeah, hearing loss sucks.
