Nature's own Kraftwerk

I found this clip enlightening and disturbing. It's from the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, and It's an attempt to recreate the sounds heard by those suffering with tinnitus. If there was ever a good advert for wearing earplugs at gigs and clubs, then this is surely it.

But I imagine having to live with the constant noise of tinnitus is probably in some way comparable with living with constant pain. The inability to escape and have time off except through unconsciousness, which can often be difficult to achieve, especially as symptoms worsen with tiredness.
