A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

If a deaf person had tinnitus, they'd probably never recognize it (lemmy.world)

Many years ago I did a charity event that involved a lot of camping. If you went solo (as I did) you had to share a tent with another solo someone. The guy I tented with was deaf. At night the campground was super noisy and it was hard for me to get any sleep. He said, "This is my super power....I just take out my hearing aids and noise goes away. Really useful if your partner snores."

.........did the deaf guy then proceed to snore?

Heh, yes, but not too loudly. The camp was so loud it didn't matter much.
