And I'm one who lives with it in the one ear. It simply is an inescapable noise that gets you the most at your worst. It's a turning point where you'll never be able to hear silence again. Nor even go a second in noise without noticing something off

You should be grateful if you don't have that yet. It really put it for me of how similar it is to that Chinese torture method with the way of a water drop falling on your head every few seconds.

Just imagine you're a Newtype from Gundam and the noise is alerting you to danger. When life gives you lemons you got to chuck them back and start roleplaying as an Ace fighter pilot.

...Eh.

You get used to it.
It usually blurs or drown itself out sometimes when you're listening to something.

Just wished I hadn't drank too much Pepsi as a kid because that's what caused it.

CAFFEINE.

...It's more like...

...Just don't play the sound of what is usually sounds like to you when you hear it in your ears.
...Cause I just looked up for it and it somehow magnified it to hurt my ears.

In other words. "Ow."

Hmm, that's odd. For me it works as a distraction, caffeine.

And well, it doesn't always blur with listening to sound. It's reactive tinnitus or hyperacusis. So that's annoying grrr

Yeah well, that's not exactly silence then. Silence is what it takes from us.

there is no silence; you are hearing your own body for once. what you perceive as silence is a profound lie you tell yourself.

how about a rain machine?

These all do the same.

Well, tinnitus is a fault though. It's when not enough sound reaches those regions of the ear. Then there is a lack in data that we cant ignore.
