Is the Eastern US going to have a "Cicada" Spring?
#7
I am one of the few people you know who are immune to the sound of Cicadas.   I am immune to it, because -- due to profound hearing damage -- I hear that sound all the time.   24/7.   I don't always focus on it.   It used to threaten to drive me mad, and then I just shifted and got past it.    I can even get into a meditative state and focus on the sound and make it go up or down in pitch.   I imagine that has to do with blood pressure, but I really don't know for certain.   

I feel bad for those folk who will suffer from hearing the little sonsabitches, because I know it can drive a person mad with the relentless high-pitched ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.   

What I have read is that we are all enterining into a "double-brood" event , wherein the two cycles -- 13-year and 17-year -- will overlap.  That sounds like it will be a bad time for everyone who has to suffer it.  Billions of cicadas will emerge in rare 2024 double-brood event (nbcnews.com)

We will get through this.   When I first had profound hearing damage, I learned to meditate to calm the noise.   I learned  to drown out the noise.   My Darlin' uses earplugs when such things happen.   I wish you all well.   It is a  temporary situation.   Don't let it drive you crazy.  I have found in the past that making a bigger noise blocks it out.  

We who are about to ROCK salute you.
