I got tinnitus from neck damage/dislocated cervix/delayed whiplash. I still don't know exactly what happened in my neck.

I have been very careful not to get acoustic trauma to my ears since I got tinnitus in my right ear.

I have a low-noise vacuum cleaner and when I turn it OFF my tinnitus seems to become close to silent and goes into this very low-noise state. This state maybe lasts 5-10 minutes after I have turned it off.

If I listen to this video:



My healthy ear seems also to react for a second when I turn it off. With slight fullness for a nanosecond.

Does anyone know how this can be? There are so many users in here where loud sounds makes their tinnitus worse.

I also wonder if the only nerve involved in hearing is the vestibulocochlear nerve

Does humanity know if that's the ONLY nerve involved in hearing?
