They can hear the tinnitus, but not real sounds at that freq.
IANAD, is there any kind of "gain correction" theory for tinnitus? ie, the brain notices your ear can't hear this frequency very well, so it pumps up the volume ... maybe too much.
That would fit this data point, at least.
Weirdly, maybe not so different than when a hearing aid starts ringing.
