Carl: How long have you been here now?
Jack: Two months.
Carl: Can it be fixed?
Jack: Well, you would know that, don't you? Once it's gone, it's gone.
Carl: I don't know what you have.
Jack: Oh, well the tinnitus, they say, once you...
Carl: Oh, tinnitus can't be fixed.
Jack: Right. Well, I just hear that tone, that's all. The tone, yeah. The ringing.
Carl: I have hearing aids on, as you...
Jack: No, I know. That's why I asked you. You know, I'm convinced that it happened when I was younger, I used to... My dad had a Victrola, you know an old record player. My head was just about the size of it when I was a kid, and I used to love to just put my whole head in there. He was big into the blues, so... 'Cause you gotta figure it's just me and him all day long. My brother's out there tryin' to make something of himself. So I took one of his belts. I put it around the ceiling fan and uhh, tried to do the deed.[pause] The whole **** fan came out of the ceiling.
[Both Laugh]
Jack: Had a big cut on my **** forehead. I was more mad about that than it not working. And he didn't even notice. He didn't even **** notice.
Carl: 'Cause he was drunk?
Jack: Yeah. That **** fan stayed on the floor for about half a year.
Carl: How old were you then?
Jack: I was just shy of 13.
Jack: Two months.
Carl: Can it be fixed?
Jack: Well, you would know that, don't you? Once it's gone, it's gone.
