And, well, it crushed my head (which is full of rocks evidently). A consequence was my left inner ear was destroyed rendering me deaf with tinnitus. To me it sounds live I’ve just been punched really hard flat in the nose. It gets worse with loud background noises.

Since this happened I’ve learned how common tinnitus is and there seems to be myriad causes for it.

I’ve resolved that this is simply my life now.
