The Silence of Deafness is an Abstract, not an Absolute.
Sometimes the silence smacks me upside the head, making me wonder temporarily if I’ve died–since everything sounds so eerily quiet and distant and far away. And I’ll listen to those tiny sounds that I hear, and snap my fingers close to my head, just to remind myself I’m not in absolute silence.
But for that split second before I remind myself, it’s surreal.

sometimes when I couldn’t fall asleep because of the noise around, I would squeeze in ear-plugs, hoping that it would help. It usually does, but then it’s absolute silence. strange. something I am not used to. alien.
then I would take it out to make sure that everything is still “okay,” plug it back and fall asleep.
silly.

the silence in my ears, sometimes screams unmerciful noise at me. the silence to me is a new noise that i have yet to get used to!
