Every night as I lie in bed I have to calm myself about the shrill noise going on. Sometimes during the day too. It's still at the point where life goes on mostly unaffected, but after 8 years I've started to forget what silence sounded like, a cure would be very fucking welcomed.
I feel you, I have to always have something on, be it TV, music, radio, anything to distract me from the constant EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. I have a fan running at night on max power to create a hum to drown it out. Even now it’s winter, I just point it at the wall. I would give anything to enjoy a bit of sweet, sweet silence again!
