Hey, Deaf/HoH people - I'm wondering, does it feel silent in your head? Especially if you lost your hearing rather than never had it.

I'm just hoping that if my hearing just goes away altogether, my head will quiet down. It's always so buzzy and loud in there. 😔

@spiegelmama I've been profoundly deaf for over 20 years and no indeed it is still a loud buzzing place but maybe you'll have better luck.

@pawpower Ahh, dammit. Oh well. Maybe my musical ear syndrome will persist so I can still hear music. 😕

@pawpower Sincere thanks for your answer, though. I'm sorry you're buzzy, too.

@spiegelmama as HoH since I was a kid (and gotten worse), I can say that unfortunately my brain makes up for the lack of understanding external sounds by constantly blabbering nonsense. Some medication helps by lowering my inner volume.

@stojg Ah, boo. I'm sorry about that. Dang it.

@spiegelmama it is what it is. Most people are just talking out loud to themselves anyways, so it’s pros and cons.

@stojg That is true. Not many people are that worth hearing. But I don't love the buzzing either. I'll live, though.

@spiegelmama My head roars like a train depot. The silence I crave is beyond me. A friend of mine, very deaf said his deafness is silence and for that he’s grateful.

@Catawu Ugh, I'm sorry. At least your friend lucked out. 🫂
