Hi there,

There's no great way to predict that. If it's a new symptom that's existed for a week or more, I'd recommend seeing an audiologist and ENT. Have your ears and hearing evaluated to see if there is an obvious, treatable cause for the tinnitus. 
Hello,

Difficult to say, but suspect should not be more than 2 weeks. Need a good ear exam and a good hearing test.

That’s not really a question that can be answered in this forum. I encourage you to see an ENT for an ear exam and a hearing test in order to better understand the tinnitus.
