NYT: A Maine retreat's quiet
One couple buys a house in Maine and finds that the quiet there brings an unexpected gift. From A Lifesaving Retreat in Maine - New York Times:
The intense quiet around them also helped her notice an inner noise that turned out to be a symptom of something that was going on in her body - an acoustic neuroma, a tumor that affects one's hearing.
"I believe that if I hadn't gone there, I never would have calmed down and would have never found my brain tumor," she said. "I found it by being very quiet and listening. It was a teensy sound. It sounded like swish. Shshsh shshsh. Sometimes twice, sometimes three times. Like a coded message."
