the noise buzzing
the eternal hum
that is both in
and not in
my ears
has no
resemblance to music
no beat and no accentuated
pitch
if i concentrate
closing my eyes
a sine wave resolves itself
against my eyelids
but this is the invisible illusion
of sound
what is heard is not even
the pressure of disturbed air

Sounds about right to me. Every day.
Most of the time I don’t even notice it. But when it’s quiet…
I recently got hearing aids, and they can be controlled by an app on my phone. I can set “Tinnitus sound” to create a white noise, and I use that 3 – 4 times a week.
Mine is still analog 😀
