Why does the sound of aluminum foil crinkling (like the ones used as medicine foil) cause my right ear to produce quiet drumming/vibrating sounds?

Hyperacusis~: hello ~ it could be that you are sensitive to the lower decibel range of sounds but it could also mean you have a conductive fall off of hearing. Have your ears checked for wax and removed if you have it and if not have a proper hearing test (audiology) it might be revealing. Probably worth seeing an ENT guy anyway. Ok? thanks

Hi doctors! I had what I believe you said was tinnitus--sound of childs squeeze toy inside my right ear. The noise has subsided. I had an MRI of the skull base and brain--would that MRI show an acoustic neuroma if I had one? What else causes tinnitus?
