Diagnosed with Cochlear Hydrops.

Question

Asked for Male, 42 Years

Im a 42 yr old healthy male aside from my current condition. I lost my hearing in my left ear due to head trauma at 17 yrs old. I developed Cochlear Hydrops about 2 yrs ago. Luckily for me I do not have any vertigo or balance problems. However, I do have tinnitus in both ears and some hearing loss in my only good ear. My question is why the tinnitus in my right ear? The hearing in that ear has been gone for over 20 yrs and never had tinnitus. Wondering why it would develop now?
