One response to “Can anybody help me find an online video of what tinnitus does to the human inner ear?”

    Tinnitus actually occurs in the brain! The inner ear has damaged hair cells in the cochlea and because those damaged hair cells are not picking up sounds as sensitively as they once did, the tinnitus is a “phantom” perception that your brain makes in response to not hearing sound the way it should. (It’s as if you cut off your hand but your palm still itches). Get pictures/videos of damaged inner haircells. Then get pictures/videos of the auditory brain. This is the part of the brain that lights up on MRI scans when tinnitus occurs.
