What Causes Loud Noise On Tapping The Skull Above Left Ear?
When I tap my skull above my left ear it sounds hollow. Tapping elsewhere does not make the same sound. When I tap there other people also comment it sounds hollow, I.e. it is loud. My hearing is very good.... This is a new sensation, maybe the last 6 months or so. I am male, 43. Any ideas?
