I suffer from tinnitus in both ears, it hasn’t bothered me when I sleep or anything and I feel I can hear fine. But does having tinnitus mean hearing loss? If not, will it lead to hearing loss, how can I prevent hearing loss if I have tinnitus?

My left ear has felt blocked for over 3 months now and i havent had any pain, but it just came and went. I finally got tired of it and i have been looking for a cure i dont want to go to the doctor yet. Anyways the left side of my nose is always stopped up and i tried blowing my nose really hard and i felt alot of stuff deep inside of my nose so i think its my eustachian tube that is blocked. When i yawn i feel pressure in my ear and it feel like the pressure tries to go out my ear and it hurts sometimes.If i go to the doctor will I have to have surgery and if left untreated will it lead to more serious problems? Any answers will help greatly, THANK YA’LL
