Ah yes...the cicadas that live in my head 😖
I also have the high frequency loss, birds, bells, all that stuff is out of my range now. Like some said if you can "forget" about it at times, it helps. Just reading this thread has awakened all 687,463 cicadas and all are screeching at full volume 🤯

I get it occassionally. But it fades out after a few minutes. Thankfully!
Motorcycles, lawnmowers, chain saws, tractors, power tools, sawmills, rock concerts, and car races. That's what messed up my hearing.
I was in my mid thirties before I started wearing ear protection.

Substitute living on a Fire Support Base for 8 months for the sawmill and the tractors and I'm there.

😂. That’s almost exactly my experience. I asked my wife what was this noise and what was that noise. She laughed. One of the most irritating sounds to me is the exhaust fan on the microwave. The Mrs thinks it’s hilarious but I don’t know how people can handle some of the “new” sounds I’m hearing. She said she could hear the carpet catching on it's toenails. OMG! Some folks hear EVERYTHING. I have no grasp on that. Thats me. I cant comprehend how well some people can hear. Last year Turkey hunting someone was texting me about gobbles they could hear PAST me that I couldnt hear even with hear enhancements. |

My wife has the super hearing also. I was in the bathroom talking to my dentist just now. When I got out she already told “Alexa” to remind me of the appointment. She hears through doors and walls
I don’t know if that’s good or bad. 🤷♂️

My deafness probably saved me from developing tinnitus.
I used to shoot all of the time without ear protection. Since I couldn’t hear anything I could not hear the blasts.
However one time I was shooting a 44 mag for several hours and I got physically ill from either the noise or the recoil. Never happened again. It was outside on the farm. I never figured it out.

I get like that running a chainsaw for long periods of time. Get stressed, even with hearing protection. |

Try one before you comment. I've had several. Was with the last one for 20 years. Married for 12 of those years. You get a hold of a crazy wild one? |

Dated several redheads when I was younger. Now that you mention it they were “different”

The country with the highest per capita population of Redheads is Ireland.
The country with the highest per capita incidence of schizophrenia is ... Ireland.
A genetic linkage between the two is highly probable.
Does that help explain the situation?
