      Rarely, the sound may be heard by someone other than the patient by using a stethoscope, in which case it is known as “objective tinnitus”. Occasionally, spontaneous otoacoustic emissions, sounds produced normally by the inner ear, may result in tinnitus.

      It’s not ‘physical’ in most cases. Or rather, it’s not acoustic but electric instead.
