The noise level in the military is quite high even with ear protection and tinnitus is common. Would follow up with ear nose throat doctor. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4455974/ https://www.army.mil/article/124245/what_did_you_say_fort_sill_talks_hearing_loss

Tinnitus is not common and may progress to intolerable levels, that is why you have to establish with ENT at a center specializing in tinnitus. A hearing test will be needed as it appears likely that you suffered inner ear damage.
