That could be true Edwin; although I've never studied it. It is quite possible that a lack of hearing for any reason could bring on tinnitus. My lack of hearing is hereditary. I've been unable to hear certain tones since childhood. It continually gets worse with age.
You should see it when my father, my brother and myself all get together. I'ts hillarious
Huh . . .Huh . . .What did you say. Ehh . . . pardon me!!!! It gets like the Three Stooges sometimes.
My sisters laugh 'til they nearly wet their pants sometimes!!
Anyway, like the sense of hearing binaural beats in your ears; I suppose the tinnitus is caused by some kind of imbalance in ones hearing. The sound is not really there but you can hear it. Drives you batty sometimes.
Seems anyone experiencing deafness of any measurable degree also is plagued by bouts of tinnitus too. Mine is worse sometimes than others.
