It's a plan9 system. I know this! ^_^

My tinnitus started in 2009 during an anxiety period (the worst period of my life) and basically due to an ototoxic drug for dizziness.

I had already experienced it after going to a nightclub when I was a younger but I never thought that this problem would remain forever due to a doctor prescription drug.

Not only that but in the next years I got two more ringings and now I (don't have anxiety anymore) I can live normally with tinnitus but I'm always hope to get a cure. I was a silence junkie previous to the tinnitus and now I miss the "sound" of the silence so much.

I believe that once a year I can hear again the silence but it's my brain tricking me again.

Does it also sound stronger for you after a nap or intense exercise?

Nope, it only gets stronger after some use - or abuse- of headphones with medium-high volume.

Well done!

This is the most beautiful explanation that I've heard for a long time (:

Not quite as beautiful and eloquent as the original "we are made of stardust" quote by Carl Sagan that Neil deGrasse Tyson is aping here.

The "original" would be Joni Mitchell's Woodstock, no?
