I have every sympathy, I have hearing damage from my guitar amp which spontaneously went into 100 watt oscillation (not feedback) luckily not at a gig or I would have been sued to oblivion.
The tinnitus whistle, if it isn't too bad, you filter out after a year or so, but crowded room conversation is now difficult to impossible.
Like you I have considered a hearing aid but frankly have my doubts because
1, I don't want to blast the heck out of what hearing is left
2, Your brain seems to adjust over time, even though the audiogram looks the same.
When it happened I couldn't even hear the tone difference between a Strat and a Les Paul (guitarists will know what I mean) but now I can again there has been a neural compensation of some kind.
Contrary to the 'doctor knows best' advice I would recommend living with it for a while and see how your brain adapts (unless obviously it is an infection or something clinically treatable )
Hope that helps
