Some of you may not have heard of tinnitus. I hadn't either until The Ringing started and became permanent. My case is severe and was caused by neglegent health and safety right from when I first immigrated to Canada and worked at a auto wrecker/recycling yard. Which is why I am so insistent to the younger generation to wear hearing protection.
To date there is only one person (Roger Kelly) even in my closest circle of friends and family who has attempted to understand what its like? And why it is such a big deal and a key part of understanding Glen Walker. That I'm not bullshitting when I say I had to rewire neural pathways with mental discipline and invent an entirely (new to me) framework upon which my mind functions day to day.
You can get a closer understanding too. I found the identical sound (pitch, tone, volume) on YouTube:
Put your earphones on, press play, repeat... and see how long you last? I dare you.
That is what I hear 24/7 365, every second of every day.
Its not all bad. Even though I started out thinking my life was over. Being tortured every second of the day. I discovered our minds are capable of so much more than we were ever taught. Language and liguistics are just "the tip of the iceberg." Metaphors bring more meaning and a bit of empathized feeling.
Tone, vibrations and frequency are where I'm at and "Oh wow!" suddenly a whole new world opens up.
So yeah, friends.
I can understand the frustration of ADHD, depression, anxiety to name just a few.... and you yourself can turn them into beautifully unique pieces of art that are empowering. All you need is a few keys to unlock the tip of your iceberg.
You deserve more.
