I have had periodic tinnitus in my left ear for maybe 10 years and I'm 55. I would say that it "comes and goes" after sleeping. Rarely have I noted it going away or coming back while I'm awake.
I have some high frequency hearing loss in this ear, probably due to using noisy machinery in my 20s without proper hearing protection. Anytime I do loud things nowadays, I wear hearing protection.
I have noticed my tinnitus seems less frequent if I stay properly hydrated. I have a tendency to forget to drink water and making a point of it seems to help.
When I was in the army, during training, my room mate had tinnitus, from stress and a loud noise. He was asked to drink a LOT of water by the medics.
This was almost 20y ago, so I don‘t remember the details, but hydration seems to be a treatment. I only remember since it seemed weird to me at the time.
