This sounds so bad but I cannot empathize as I do not hear a roaring ocean in my head all day. I have tinnitus real bad though and it's enough to make anyone crazy to put up with. It's always there but I can tune it out throughout the day. I guess each day I just wonder what surprise is around the corner. After all I am always seeking knowledge and I am into all the fields of research that offer this information. Perhaps you can find something that can drive you further in these areas of thought which can give you a sense of wonder and hope.
