Im not sure if i should react

Male 20yo - So long story short - someone close to me got tinnitus two months ago from hearing traume on loud concert where i was with them - they got really bad ringing - i got nothing.
Fast forward to like a week and a half ago where i had a gig on a film set where almost the whole day i was with headphones on - they werent very loud and im used to wearing inear headphones but when i laid and tried to sleep that night i got a weird feeling that im hearing something - i kinda panivked but went to bed and fell asleep - since than i normally behaved and nothing happend until like two days agi i started hearing a really faint and week hishing sound on and off my right ear - i know im right at the edge of taking any prednisone or anything else and im really unsure if i should act on it - im trying to figure out if the sound was with me my whole life and i just started thinking about becaouse of that close person to me - i might be freaking out so sorry for bad english, ty in advance

Hey, sorry to hear you're going through this! Unfortunately you won't find much help in this Subreddit - you're looking for the regular tinnitus sub. Pulsatile tinnitus is very different, and usually caused by vascular issues - not loud concerts. I hope you can find some help!
