WE ARE A GENERATION THAT WILL NEVER COME BACK.

That's called tinnitus.
Tinnitus is when you experience ringing or other noises in one or both of your ears. The noise you hear when you have tinnitus isn't caused by an external sound, and other people usually can't hear it. Tinnitus is a common problem. It affects about 15% to 20% of people.
I had it as well but as soon as I put the hearing aids on it disappeared.
I’ve had tinnitus since I was about 28 years old. One of the main causes of it is pain relievers. IE. ASA and codeine. Large amounts over extended period of time, like to relieve pain from a protruding disc in back will do it. If you’ve ever taken the max dose of 222’s you will know what I’m talking about.
