If you mean dead silence in your ears when you’re in a quiet place actively listening for tinnitus then no, I’ve never heard of such a thing. Although I am curious if even people without tinnitus can will themselves into hearing a ring in those circumstances.

On the other hand staying in a quiet place and rarely using headphones for an extended period of time has let my symptoms drop below the threshold of irritation. They’re still there it I focus on them, but except for the occasional very noticeable passing flare up they cause no distraction or annoyance.
