I am looking to see if this has the same affect on others with tinnitius. I have found that when my tinnitius increases, if I put pressure on my opposit ear canal (e.g.: stick my finger in my ear or apply pressure from the outside), my tinnitius decreases.
I am working on an experiment with my audiologist and would appreciate input from others.

Just tried it. Didn't work.
But reminds me of a story.
Joe's walking along and sees a guy with a banana growing out of his ear.
Joe: Hey, do you know you've got a banana growing out of your ear.
Guy: What?
Joe: You've got a banana growing out of your ear.
Guy: WHAT?
Joe: There's a banana growing out of your ear.
Guy: Sorry, you'll have to speak louder, can't you see that there's a banana growing out of my ear?

Hmmm, yeah I tried too. Still shrillin' away. Be interesting to hear what this experiment is about though. Good luck with it! And Jack? Ba-Da-Bum! :)

I tried it and the tinnitus just did not get softer. In fact it set off the sould of a chain off loud cymbols crashing together. But recently almost any motion could cause that. I also have a cochlear implant in my non-AN ear. (I am so lucky. Sudding hearing loss it the right; AN in the left) Do you have hearing in the ear you are touching? Maybe that makes a difference.
You may have a form of somatic tinnitus which is set off or changed by motion of a specifc muscel. I read an article about one person who could make his tinnitus louder by wiggling a finger. But I have nerver heard of anyone who could make their tinnitus quieter. There is often a fatigue factor in somatic tinnitus. If you push on your ear several times in a row does tinnitus get quieter every time, or do you have to have to wait a few mniutes before it happens again?
I'm curious to how others answer your question.
