It's not unusual to loose sense of your position if you don't move for a while, but trust me if you can touch your fingers together or touch your nose with your eyes closed then your proprioception is working, you wouldn't be able to do that without looking if it wasn't.

Sure. Just the way in which it's working there can hardly be called a "sense." It's like calling the secretions of my esophageal mucosal membranes a sense.

It's as ridiculous as calling the movement of sound waves in your inner ear getting converted to sound signals in the brain a "sense." That's clearly just a body's subconscious mechanical function.

No, in very consciously aware of sounds. The tinnitus makes low sounds difficult, but i can consciously tell them apart if i try.
