If you're that scared, you can start by throwing away those in ear headphones, they're the most damaging. Get one of those Sennheiser foldable headphones and get used to listening on lower level, really, it's not worth the risk.

I have had tinnitus since 2006. I do not know how I got it, because I don't have a history of abusing my hearing as some do.
Tinnitus may be related to the condition of your teeth. Some people suddenly had a ringing because of a rotten molar or after extended dental surgery.
If you had bad teeth and have them fixed with lots of metal in your mouth you might want to investigate this.

The World Health Organization says no more than an hour a day of listening to music. A lot of us here are in serious trouble...

I work at my computer 8 to 10 hours a day listening to music constantly with earbuds at full volume. I've done this for years and my hearing is just fine.
However, the only time my ears are ringing loudly is after listening to the Hampton '81 double CD.

Saw Midnight Oil in a club in their later years. Show was loud throughout but encore time they turned it up. I literally felt something go pop in my ear. Was literally bleeding after the show. There is a magic tone on the Strat that really hurts me. Dinosaur Jr uses it often.
