When You Are Talking on the Phone and Engaged in a Conversation, Does Your Brain Tune Out Tinnitus?

I have noticed when I am talking on the phone with someone and engaged in the conversation, my brain seems to tune out the tinnitus pretty well. I was wondering if you all had the same experience.

 

Sometimes

 

Yes!, thats because you are trained your whole life to pay attention when you are talking on the phone.

 

Not entirely. I may not be fixated on it, but I still hear it.

 

No I don't hear it. I hear my t in quiet rooms or areas and at night .

 

I never hear my T while on the phone, no matter how loud my T was when I picked up the receiver, but when the conversation ends I have the "pleasant" surprise that my T reacted to the noise and it is whistling ten times louder than before the conversation, no matter how short the conversation was. As of late my T reacts even to a half a minute of conversation. The weirder part is that sometimes this increase in T after the conversation is in the ear I put the receiver against, and sometimes... in the opposite ear, the ear that was free. I have no chances to figure out my T in conditions like that.

 

The other day when I was sitting in a complete quite room and talking on my phone with a friend I heard no Tinnitus. Interesting.
