Last year had same problem here, tinitis. I had significant hearing loss, end result being a hearing aid in my left ear, and directions from my audiologist to not use a whistle with a dcb above 90.

That said, on the court the hearing aid does help me hear my P better/more easily which is a good thing; but also coaches which can be a good or a bad thing.
