Lol.... It's a thought.

The path is brain stem/thalamus/Auditory Cortex; but that is for physical signals from the ear.
But where it gets weird is: you can imagine sound that is not coming in your ears, like when you dream, or recall a song.
So you can experience audio where none is being generated. Same with images.

So now we are discussing the interface between the brain and the concious mind.
That's barely-charted territory!

It seems an odd though plausible mechanism for communication between the unconscious and concious mind.

Tinnitus is caused by "recruitment" which is the brain raising its sensitivity to missing frequencies from the ear's auditory nerve.
The ringing does not come from the ear itself.

Do you know where in the brain, that this nerve/signal originates from?

Just thought that it would be interesting to know.

I have mid level tinnitus but that's because I listen to loud music

You have a cause, though! I do believe that it's possible that loud music can interfere with the vibrations of the subconscious mind.
