Through out my life, I've never experienced true silence. I have very good hearing. Those ultrasonic pest deterrent systems drive me nuts. The only time I experienced true silence was in a hot-Air balloon. No humming, buzzing, white noise or ringing, just... Quiet. It was one of the best experiences of my life.
Yes, it occurs in varying degrees and has many causes. Like suggested above it probably is tinnitus. I also experience ringing in my ears, and I know that exposure to loud noise caused mine. You can look it up on wikipedia. There should be a decent article on it there.
