I lost earing on my left ear 3 years ago, around my 30s. Normal audition was replaced by permanent tinnitus. Talking to other affected people, old and young, i can tell that mine is the strong side of the spectrum.

I don't suffer the severe symptoms decribed in the article. I think that Hum must be doing something else to the bodys of those affected.

My tinnitus, after some weeks of adaptation, became part of normal life. I can sleep, concentrate and so on. I do miss the old silence sometimes. Good music is the new silence.
