        Sometimes I can kinda tune it out briefly. But it never goes away. I never get true peace.

          You need to cultivate love for it. Make friends with it.

          Your brain will amplify any perception you regard as a threat. Your hate and fear is feeding it.

              The fact that you can only tune it out briefly.

              I notice mine roughly once every six months, and it doesn’t reduce my peace at all when it happens.

                So everyone experiences it exactly like you? Come on dude. Ever heard of chronic tinnitus? And what you have sounds like occasional ear ringing. Not everyone is just like you.
