The AudioNotch Tinnitus Treatment Blog

Here is a link to a long list of highly accomplished individuals who suffer from Tinnitus. One of my favorites is Jean-Jacques Rousseau:

From “Confessions” (1780) “…a great noise started up in my ears, a noise that was triple or rather quadruple, compounded of a low and muffled humming, a softer murmuring as though of running water, a piercing whistle…This internal noise was so loud that it robbed me of the keen ear I had previously enjoyed and made me, not completely deaf, but hard of hearing… in spite of the throbbing in my arteries and the humming in my ears, which since that time, some thirty years ago now, have never left me for a moment…The noise was irksome, but it caused me no suffering: it was not accompanied by any chronic affliction, apart from insomnia at night…”

Despite this affliction, and the accompanying cognitive cost, Rousseau was able to become one of the most important writers and philosophers of his generation. In particular, his political philosophy is something that I studied in my undergraduate studies only several years ago.

Tinnitus is an obstacle. But like any obstacle, it can be overcome on the path to greatness. Soldier on!
