It was likely something she was pre-disposed to that was made worse by live shows. Tinnitus is something that is usually caused by either sudden loud noises or persistent loud noise, so yes, in that regard concerts/rehearsals are primarily to blame. It could also be Mineirs disease, but either way, constantly working in loud environments doesn't help matters.
