After replacing most of my mid-high frequency hearing (starting from 1000Hz and nosediving thereafter) with tinnitus - no tone, just vibration. Rattling away in the cradle does the job.
On the bright side, I am rarely woken or kept awake by noise.
I almost wish I had tinnitus then because I'm woken up by any one of my four roommates opening and closing doors or the construction a block away that starts at 7am on the dot.
Roomies are temporary, but the scree in your ears is forever. I've adapted - it has been my unwanted yet constant companion for decades.
Others can mentally struggle with it, especially if onset is sudden and permanent from otherwise normal hearing. Fairly high up the symptom list for brain tumours as well, so that's just swell for new sufferers that now need their head inspected.
Protect your ears, kids. We only get two and they're very easy to damage in today's noisy world.
