From the initial deep listening exercises that I did on Thursday I have been doing a lot more research into my tinnitus condition. Despite having the condition for over a year, I have always found it tricky to describe to others what it is that I can hear, but I found this video online which describes the condition itself rather well in addition to giving some examples of what tinnitus sufferers can hear: If you listen from 1.41 that is the sound closest to what I hear all the time. Of course it can change depending on external factors, for example if I am in a room with something very loud, I find that the sounds I hear in my own head increase in volume. I also find that I can hear more ‘crackling’ at times, or the sounds can change completely, sometimes sounding similar to a dial tone or television static (like at 2.10).
A phrase that Gillan used during our seminar was making ‘sound out of focus’, similar to the use of images in and out of focus to create different effects. This made me think about my struggle to hear things because of the constant ‘fog’ that is in my head. I would like to somehow present this in a visual format so that it people can visualise what it can be like for me to try and listen to things.

Essentially, I want to create an experience that mimics my every day; an insight into the human condition from a personal perspective. There is no silence.
