I'm not a medical expert, but I can safely say from experience that tinnitus can be caused by a huge variety of things with most of them not actually being that serious (cold/flu, earwax buildup, meds, infections, etc.). However, like other symptoms that inhibit daily functions, if it persists longer than a week, you should definitely consult a professional (assuming that option is available to you.)
I got perma tinnitus from covid in January 2020. It makes me so incredibly sad. I had very good hearing before that, and now, after spending some time with an audiologist and ent, it's official that I have some hearing damage caused by that event, too.
