This book's origin was Rainer Schneider's own tinnitus-ailment – which initially paralyzed him: The unbearable noise from inside, the sound of the own head and body, which according to some appraisals afflicts roughly 10% of the European population in milder or starker form in the course of their lifetime.
By shaping Rainer Schneider called a halt to the idiosyncratic affliction – he made up the man in the ear into a litany full of intriguing insights about our heads and their surroundings – and put it out of him. There he may bluster.
