[TheForge] Re: Tinnitus

[Peter Fels And Phoebe Palmer]

Consequent to massive chemotherapy in 1980  i won tinnitus  in 5 or 6 
distinct pitches that was loud enough to mask quiet conversation. Over 
time it has diminished  to just one or 2 pitches and much less 
volume......but i noticed that as  each pitch  dropped away, so did much 
of my hearing in the same register. I've come to think of it as the 
individual nerves under a given sensory hair singing  their last 
protracted note as they die.
Subsequently, I killed off some of their neighboring nerves  beating metal.
Abandon all consonants, ye that enter hear........................Pete F
