Perhaps there is something akin to an innate bio/neurofeedback mechanism at play? It sounds interesting. I have no familiarity with tinnitus, but biofeedback has been reported to have some significant efficacy for migraine sufferers.
I've always imagined that migraine and tinnitus share something in common, in the form of it being "in your head". Migraine feels like it effects and pervades your entire brain/mind/self, even though there are no nerves through the brain to "feel" that pain, and I have imagined that tinnitus feels similar - the sound is something that occupies and pervades your entire brain/mind/self (that is, it's not, to the sufferer, just a "ringing in the ears", any more than a migraine is a "pain in the head".).
'Course, I could be right off. I guess I just always suspected that tinnitus sufferers are
most likely to empathise with migraine sufferers, and vice versa. Naturally, curiosity is aroused.
