actually first time listening to any music besides in my head "memories" in days. I hear loud machines all day and usually watch anime and no working radio yet in the vehicle but I'll get the energy to pull the dash out "pain in the ass" then I'll have music in the vehicle for driving to and from work but I'm fine for now and patient so it'll happen when it happens. As for silence, never I sit quietly all I hear is the loud ringing of tinnitus so quiet is never happening in my brain.
