The tinnitus isn’t actually scary to me, but directly after I hear it, voices appear in my head of people I met earlier that day. At one point I was just about to get to sleep when I heard an extremely loud voice go DINGDING (but inside my mind). From then on I make as much noise as possible to avoid hearing the tinnitus…
anyone else had this problem?
Ding Ding Ding! 
(I just had to do it) 
I have to deal with tinnitus myself, but as for the voices, those just sound like hypnagogic sounds to me. There’s no need to worry about it.

As BB said, this is just auditory HH. You won’t be deafened by it, because it’s not your physical ears which are hearing it. It’s actually a rather good sign. 
If I heard DING DING DING, I’d probably wake up laughing my head off, but that’s just my opinion.
That’s auditory HH. There was a long thread about WILD sounds in this subforum.
It’s very good for you cause when you hear sounds or voices, it’s a clue that you reached the hypnagogic state. Then you can try to spin around your axis or something like that in order to enter a LD.
Interesting too that you noticed how those thoughts formed from the tinnitus. Good observation. 
Last night in my hallucinations I heard a beeping noise. It was pretty interesting, I usually get some sort of hallucination nightly
I’m probably being really stupid, but what is tinnitus?
