i might add here that i know that the fans on full speed won't bother me because i'm totally deaf, having lost my hearing to a chinese-made concussion grenade during my tour in afghanistan. at which point, some of you would (or should) feel pretty foolish about the comments you made.
Why should we feel foolish? You gave no indication of this condition, ever. Hearing issues are a legitimate health concern. We're not psychic.
(and note tinnitus is a condition from nerve damage, not middle ear damage, such as from a grenade. You can be completely deaf and have tinnitus...I've got a moderately severe neural hearing loss, and still have issues with tinnitus.)
As to the rest of your comments, well hell, had you said all of that IN THE FIRST PLACE, the answers you got would have been more appropriate.
