Why Do I Hear Tinnitus More Out of My Good Ear?

I have high frequency hearing loss out of both ears. I can hear better out of my left ear than my right but the T seems to resonate from my left ear. Why would that be for you would think the T would be sounding off with the ear with more damage.

 

Possibly you have fuller damage in the worse ear, so it does not produce false signals. In your "good" ear you may have more partial damage, which does not show up on audiogram as loss, but does show up in your perception as tinnitus. I think often T may be caused by partially damaged synapses/haircells, they are damaged, and sending bad signals. If they are completely dead, haircell, synapse, gns and all, the brain may not receive false stimuli from them any longer.

Just a theory.

 

When you say high freq, how high is that?

 

Same problem here.
One ear has more damage (haircell count & audiogram) and there was less T and the T is almost 100% gone in that ear.
My other ear has a better audiogram and haircell count and the T is still there..

 

Woah what test is haircell count??

 

I don't recall the exact name but it lists the haircell-loss (OHC) in precentage.

 

Loss is in the 7 to 8 K range in the right ear and better hearing in the left but hear the ringing in the left ear...

 

Can anyone shine a light on what is going on here?
