> Since I suspect I've had it since birth, it doesn't bother me. It's just something that is. I feel bad for the folks who get it later in life and have trouble with it.

100%. I remember being rather young - maybe 5? - and listening to the deafening sound of ringing in my ears when laying in bed. Never knew that quiet was supposed to actually be quiet.

I wish I didn't have it, but I've literally never not had it, AFAIK.

Possibly unrelated: I can fall asleep within a minute of laying my head down, almost every single day. Built-in white(ish) noise machine?
