How Enriched is Life Without Music?

Is our life more enriched with music? I think so. I need it with me all the time. I have tinnitus and music helps to drown out the ringing in my ears as well as distract me from noticing the ringing.
For me, music is like frosting on a cake. The cake (life) is good without it, but the frosting (music) makes it all the better.
