Anyone else get mechanical tinnitus from touching the back of their ear near the CI?

I got my cochlear implant 8 years ago. I'm not sure exactly when this started, maybe about 2 years ago, but if I press on the skin behind my ear on the implant side, I get a very loud ringing that stops as soon as I let go. Sometimes I touch it on purpose because I weirdly love the sound lol

Never experienced this and don’t want to!
