  "summary": "Miranda Luby, a 36-year-old woman, experienced a sudden onset of tinnitus, a persistent ringing in her ears, which lasted for two years. The auditory episode began during the night, catching her off guard and causing a traumatic scene as she frantically searched for the source of the sound within her home. Luby's experience differs from her childhood belief that tinnitus was the sound of dying ear cells, as this instance did not subside.",
