Absolute silence is novel at first but very quickly becomes disturbing, listening to your own breath, your blood flowing, heart beating. It made me feel incredibly insecure and fragile. I didn't cope very well at all.

@SW-User it sounds euphoric to me. I never tried. Never thought to.

@Rokasu that's what I thought, and to begin with it was, after 12 mins it wasn't for me. Im sure for those that are born profoundly deaf it's different, I do know those that become profoundly deaf do struggle psychologically.
