That's great Lavie. Awesome discovery. I am glad it is giving you results. I was just thinking today to ask you about the music.

I made a few interestings discoveries about the noises too. I have always had a hard time describing what the noise sounds like. Ringing isn't quite acurarate nor buzzing or humming. Perhaps some sort of blend or merging of all of those. Maybe pinging is a better description. Not sure why it matters but it bugs me that I can't come up with a word to describe it.

Anyways.... one night last week the noise grew to be so loud that I couldn't concentrate. It was really starting to make me quite anxious. I wondered how it had come to get so loud. What could have caused it to move from the background into the fore. It was gradual to a point but then there was a kind of pop in my left ear. That was not so unusual but this was the first time I noticed there seemed to be a connection. Could have been coincidental.

No matter. It was becoming harder and harder to deal with it so I decided it might help if I could find a distraction. Something to stop me from being so focused on the sound. It was so loud I couldn't not focus on it but the more I did the louder it got.

I headed outside to look at the full moon. To meditate on it I suppose. The streaking clouds gently changed by the wind against the glow of the moon was amazing. The transforming shapes and multi shades of grey kept me glued. I responded with laughter sometimes, with awe another. Like a child playing seek and find on a moveable page I would be excited each time I would discover something new. When I would look from one to the other and back again my eyes saw a different image within the same cluster or streak of cloud. It had me totally captivated. Totally enjoying myself and vocalizing it while I continued to watch and react. Joyfully entertained and filled up is the best way to describe how I felt.

In the midst of the light show I noticed the noise had retreated into the background again. Only when I thought about it did it turn up the volume.

So like you I found out I could reduce the disturbance of the noise when I focused my mind elsewhere. Its a delicate pendilum swing. It suggests it can be managed.... mindfully.
