When there is silence my ears ring. I believe this is called tinnitus.

They don't ring in response to loud noises. They ring in response to the absence of noise. I most often hear it when I'm out in the country, or even the suburban wilds of Westchester.

Tonight I put in a pair of earplugs to get my homework done amidst the familial clatter, and the ringing absolutely deafened me to the point where it drowned out Margaret Mead's words on a printed page. It screamed in my head like an old, rattly telephone. This is probably the primary reason why I can never leave New York.
