Yes....your brain turns up its “gain” or signal sensitivity if anyone has ever used a guitar amplifier. So now the brain is looking for the signal that is suddenly gone due to hearing loss. Please don’t let any “doctor” give you Prozac or other drugs to calm you, helping coping with tinnitus....that only gets you hooked on the drugs.

You will never “get used to it” but realize that damage was done, and as long as you stay away from noise over 85db, it shouldn’t get worse. Use earplugs....earplugs and good muffs at the shooting range. Always have some foam earplugs in your pocket just in case...I will never own a convertible now.
