I might mention in connection to the just posted article one posted some
months ago. It showed that the perception areas of sight and sound are
adjacent in the brain and that activity in one can bleed into the other
and affect perceptions there also. When removing vision as a stimulation
source, it's potential contribution to falsely affecting the sound
perceptions is removed, providing an insight as to why listening alone
tests fail to confirm vision plus sound subjective experiences.

The proximity of visual and auditory association areas has some
relevance in certain functions but, afaik, has not been demonstrated
as a specific influence on auditory perception, itself. OTOH, it
should be testable by using visual discrepancies as distractors.
