    I Think Earplugs Are to Blame

    Well, I have very good news. The low hum that was so very present in my left ear is no longer there.

    I Think Earplugs Are to Blame

    I recently had to move back in with my parents and since my old bedroom is now my father's model train room, I'm having to use my sister's old room which is at the front of the house on the second story. The traffic is really loud at the front of the house and being on the second story puts me...
