Yeah, I always thought it was just the brain filling in the blanks by lack of data as in no data meaning "constant sound" or something.

If you can actually hear the tinnitus it's very promising for curing it, if it's a spasm in a micromuscle of the ear trying to free the hair from mucus there could potentially be a way to have something slow release a muscle relaxant in the ear to remove it as an example.
