Yup, that's what the Ears, Nose and Throat Doctor told me too. I've suffered from tinnitus in the right ear for 15 years now, it's always the same; constant ringing 24x7. I've learned, or at least try to block it out. The Doc said the brain creates the ringing noise to replace the frequency or decibel input the ear could no longer pick up. He said hearing aids might help eliminate or reduce the ringing, but I haven't tried this. He wasn't that confident the aids would help.
