I've had it as long as I can remember. Like you, I thought it was normal. When I was a little kid I thought that was what the Simon & Garfunkel song "The Sound of Silence" was talking about. Since I suspect I've had it since birth, it doesn't bother me. It's just something that is. I feel bad for the folks who get it later in life and have trouble with it. My neighbor got it a few years ago and it keeps him up at night sometimes.

I remember being rather young - maybe 5? - and listening to the deafening sound of ringing in my ears when laying in bed. Never knew that quiet was supposed to actually be quiet. I wish I didn't have it, but I've literally never not had it, AFAIK. Possibly unrelated: I can fall asleep within a minute of laying my head down, almost every single day.
