  whine, buzz, squeal, click, hiss or hum and can
  affect one ear or both. Sometimes tinnitus is
  harsh enough to interfere with day to day
  activities. This means the disorder can be so
  distracting that patients cant hear, work or
  even sleep. Recent studies also found that if a
  specific part of the brain is affected by
  tinnitus it can affect the ear and patient hears
  ringing in one ear.
• Via positron-emission tomograph (PET),
  researchers were able to detect the changes in
  the auditory cortex, a part of brain that
  processes sound, on the reverse side of the brain
  from the tinnitus. They also suggest that
  tinnitus is initiated by brain activity instead
  of the ear.
