    It depends on the type of deafness being discussed. If you are referring to nerve deafness, no. Nothing from the ear makes it to the brain. Tinnitus is actually a type of conductive deafness, so the answer here would be yes. See http://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/bhcv2/bhcArticles.nsf/pages/Deafness_-_a_range_of_causes?OpenDocument for more info about deafness.
