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.
