Tinnitus and cerebral tinnitus may differ. Tinnitus primarily originates within the ear canal and may occur in one or both ears, whereas cerebral tinnitus mainly arises in the brain and is generally not lateralized. To distinguish between tinnitus and cerebral tinnitus, individuals should undergo relevant examinations at a local accredited hospital to identify the underlying cause and receive targeted treatment accordingly.
