Tinnitus: the analogy to phantom limbs.

Let me start by describing tinnitus(being a victim myself).

It is the ringing of the ears in the absence of an external(objective) stimuli. People seem to be baffled about what may cause it,but to me,it seems extremely obvious...

Tinnitus is essentially a phantom sound.

<_>Simply put:

If a sensation makes a difference in your perception, depending on which way the perception is affected(positive or negative) while you are unable to receive sensory input, the brain compensates in a way for what it lacks (or has an excess in compensation of, fundamentally speaking).
