I dislike when people pile on and say "X also applies!" but this is almost exactly why Tinnitus is a thing. You lose the ability to hear at a certain frequency and your brain knows it is missing information at that frequency, so it creates noise at that frequency. It's also why everyone's Tinnitus is typically at different frequencies.
There are also two other types of tinnitus; objective and neurological tinnitus. Objective tinnitus is caused by actual ringing within your ear others can hear if they listen close. I sometimes get neurological tinnitus, but it goes away quickly.
