How do you cope with silence?

There is a lot of silence in my life. I do not cope with it, and the isolation, very well. I live in one quiet rented room in a quiet neighborhood. Don't have a CD player, don't have a TV, no real social life. Physically unhealthy, obese (working on that), teeth falling out, going deaf (saving for a hearing aid but just told I will need 2 of them)...What can I say? Not a great situation currently. Spent last year out of my comfort zone trying hard to make some new friends (my friends live hundreds or thousands of miles away or they've died). Last year was a disaster. Have decided to withdraw into my shell again, for now. Saving my money for a hearing aid (or two!) And a move to what I believe will be a better community.Meanwhile, the silence rules.
