Closing Non-Tinnitus Ear Makes Tinnitus Practically Gone

I was wondering if anyone regognises this....

My tinnitus is mostly/loudest in my left ear, but when I close my other ear, the sound is practically gone.

When I close my tinnitus ear, the sound is still there.

I never understood this, my doctors don’t understand it either, so I was wondering if anyone recognises it....

 

You could have tinnitus that can be heard by others and when you block your good ear it causes you not to hear it.
Maybe get your doctor put his scope over your ear to see if he hears it also when you next need to see him/her.

Funny you mention this, I was just wondering about that myself.... I even asked my husband to put his ear against mine to see if he could hear something (you should have seennthe look on his face). He couldn’t hear a thing.... good idea to listen with a scope.... didn’t think of that. I’ll ask next time I’m at the doctor’s.

 

Thanx for changing the title.... English is not my first language so sometimes it’s a bit difficult to write what I mean....

But no one recognises this??
