Hi Mike:

Notice in the story that they were able to suppress the tinnitus by playing white noise; that indicates some events in the inner ear were likely driving the brain activity.

A case study of a single patient appears to indicate that
when he experienced tinnitus areas of the auditory cortex
and "seemingly unrelated parts of the brain" were activated.
The original research report appears in the journal
"Current Biology" and there is a summary of the article
in the NY Times which can be read here:
