Despite having tinnitus, I can still hear very subtle sounds and identify them.

• For example, a long, deep hum means a garage door is opening/closing.
• I can also hear (and feel) footsteps and movement from people around a building, even very subtle movement.
• I can also pick up on all the little creaks a building makes.

However, despite being able to hear subtle sounds, I cannot hear "no" sound or silence due to the ringing. :/
