Dear Hearing

I’ve always had exceptional hearing. Lately having developed tinnitus I thought my hearing was diminished. It isn’t I just have to listen through the ongoing ‘ringing’. Yesterday when I was in the kitchen (and the day before) I could hear some was ‘different”. I kept checking outside. By the second day I determined that it was the refrigerator and debated calling a repair person. I thought to myself, they are not going to hear the difference that the refrigerator was making because they yhaven’t been listening to it daily for 10 years like I was. I just knew something was off. It turns out the the freezer drawer was slightly ajar. I guess it was working way to hard. I closed it and now, a day later it sounds like it always had. Thank you ears for my exceptional hearing —even with tinnitus.
