The authors propose an account of how hearing loss may contribute to tinnitus. They argue that adaptive neural noise can help weak signals cross thresholds, while predictive coding may interpret residual activity as sound. The review cites prior studies reporting about a 5 dB improvement in pure-tone thresholds with added noise; it does not test the causal link.
