Many of you have probably heard of cochlear implants. This is an electrical device that is surgically threaded into the cochlea of a deaf ear whose hearing nerve is still intact. Over half of those who had tinnitus before their cochlear implant, have reported an improvement in their tinnitus after this surgery. But, there are some who have reported the onset of tinnitus after this procedure! So, it appears that any time the ear is traumatized by disease or surgery, tinnitus can result.
