For a while, I've seemed to associate the words "walls" and "concrete" with tinnitus. It must be because my tinnitus is most evident in the quiet moments before bed, when I'm encased in the four walls of my room waiting to sleep and the only appreciable sounds I'm hearing are coming from within my ears.
I've always heard the weirdest amalgamation of noises - I remember reading somewhere that the brain tries to interpret, as best it can, the meaning of a frequency. So I'll hear what might be a vague bell or piano, or what might be a siren, or what might be static...all layered
and interwoven into this one, fluid entity.
Which fits in with the idea of "wallpaper" - it's all in the layering :)
