| Long abstract | A few years ago (in early March 2017, to be exact), my relationship to sound — and reading — began to change. I woke up one day to a constant high-pitched ringtone that I initially mistook for a distant alarm, but I soon realized there was nothing actually “making” the sound I was hearing. This kind of experience of phantom sound is commonly known as tinnitus (from the Latin verb tinnere “to ring”), usually defined in technical terms as a sensation of noise without an external stimulus. The initial ringtone sound eventually went away, but tinnitus has been my odd companion ever since, coming and going erratically depending on physical and environmental conditions (seasonal, architectural, acoustic). Sometimes tinnitus feels like the roaring of waves or hum of machinery; sometimes it’s a screechy wheel or chirping crickets. Whatever form it takes, tinnitus can be especially intrusive in externally quiet environments (bedroom, office, library) — making it difficult for me to concentrate and read. |
