and sustain nature?"

No we will not ever disconnect with natures sounds. I have my iPad's Clock
Radio set to wakeup to natures soundscapes: rain, birds chirping, wind,
flowing water... Now that we have soundscapes recorded humans no longer
need nature.

I'm hard of hearing but I don't consider it a handicap. I consider it a
blessing! Way too much sound pollution in the world these days.
Especially when my wife is yelling at me..........LOL

The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep,
And round the pebbly beaches far and wide
I heard the first wave of the rising tide
Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep;
A voice out of the silence of the deep,
A sound mysteriously multiplied
As of a cataract from the mountain's side,
Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.
So comes to us at times, from the unknown
And inaccessible solitudes of being,
The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;
And inspirations, that we deem our own,
Are some divine foreshadowing and foreseeing
Of things beyond our reason or control.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Sound of the Sea":

Aggh! Don't talk to me about natures sounds.

I have tinnitus and I hear crickets.
All the time.

I'm not sure how long I've had it but one night
lying in bed during a snowfall I started thinking about
how quiet snowfalls make everything. Then I started to
wonder how the crickets could still be chirping in the
middle of the winter.

At least I don't hear a tone.
I'm sure that has to be the worst.
