when everything is quiet in the world, I often wonder what people without tinnitus hear if not the ringing. like, do they just hear nothing? πŸ€”

Yeah just nothing. It's very peaceful.

I ask the same question!

There's always sound. The wind, AC, electricity, hum of the fridge, birds, cars, etc. And if you are in some kind of sensory deprivation chamber you would hear your breath, the shifting of your clothes, or even the blood rushing through your ears and heartbeat.

I usually hear the sound of my computers and anyone working outside.

Pre-tinnitus the silence could be deafening. Post- I long for it

Does most everyone have some level of tinnitus?!?

I hear moaning women, like during sex n stuff.

do you have tinnitus? 😯

yeah. spent a lot of time working on shooting ranges and hitting up night clubs when I was young and beautiful πŸ˜…

ohhh drat. I’ve had some tinnitus at times. Kinda brief. Well in response to your question, there’s usually ambient noise… or your own breathing sounds. I liked the post cuz all of a sudden I’m like, oh yeah lemme listen to the quiet 😝
