> I always thought everyone had it because I had it since childhood.
I can remember being about five or six years old and hearing the Simon and Garfunkel song, "The Sound of Silence" and I thought my tinnitus was what they were talking about, and that everybody had it. I cannot remember a time when I didn't have it. Since it has always been with me, it doesn't really bother me. I feel bad for people who get it later in life and for whom it is a very large annoyance.
