You aren't missing anything. It takes some getting used to. And you might as well learn to deal with it because there is nothing out there to 'cure" you. To me it seems the more you fight it, the louder it becomes....so I've just learned to accept it and sometimes its almost quiet. Like right now. But its always there.
Or you can use it...and try to focus on it. Interesting meditation technique..though I can't say for sure what it effects are..if any.
Its driving my Mom batty right now. She endlessly searches the internet looking for the magic pill or gadget. Herbal concoctions, white noise generators and ear muffs, plugs etc abound at the folks house.
My Dad always points out the alternative to her as he removes his hearing aids and say.."Hell, at least you're hearing something"..LOL
I suggested she try meditation, but she just looks at me like I'm nuts. Sigh..we all have our path.

(as a side note...just talking about has made me more aware of it and its almost deafening as I try to work...it was pretty quiet before I started this post)
