I’m currently unable to hear in one ear, but while eating, I can “hear” my chewing in both ears. Is this just a me thing or does this happen to other people?

    I think you may be experiencing bone conduction hearing? I’m deaf in my left ear, but the ear its self works perfectly, it’s the nerve connecting my ear to my brain that’s gone bad. When I get a hearing test the do both normal hearing and bone conduction hearing tests and there is a difference in what I can hear between the tests, I still have decent bone conduction while my normal hearing is 80% gone leaving me with nothing but bass tones.
