Hard to tell but the tinnitus increase has been exponential to any hearing loss increase that might have happened in the last five years (since onset & surgery). Very likely you are correct though, it has also crossed my mind.

My tinnitus increased (and still increases) exponentially after stapedectomy. Literature suggests that a great number of operated patients have a reduction or complete resolution of their tinnitus - I don't remember numbers but it was over 50% with an improvement or no effect on tinnitus and...
