advice • support Intermittent hearing loss for 5-10 Sec possible cause ETD & TMJD

Today, I was outside for an exam and hurried to the exam center. While sitting at the desk waiting for the exam to start, my right ear suddenly felt blocked. I could only hear the examiner’s voice from my left ear. At the same time, a very loud tinnitus appeared in my left ear (the high-pitched tinnitus most people occasionally experience or we which we can find in youtube). After about 5–10 seconds, hearing in my right ear completely returned, and the ringing in my left ear faded away after 20–30 seconds. However, the constant buzzing sound that I usually hear became louder than normal. I think this might be related to my ETD, but I found it interesting and wanted to share. Has anyone experienced this ?
