Tinnitus is a condition that causes constant ringing, buzzing or humming in the ears. It leads to a reorganization of primary auditory cortex, meaning that the brain's perception of sound changes due to the persistent presence of the tinnitus. However, there is no evidence to suggest that degeneration is restricted to the contralateral auditory cortex. Therefore, only choices A and C are correct, making E the best choice.
