I really hosed my ears over the years. 10+ years in radio on air with very loud closed muff headphones avoid feedback off the very close mic. Then pistol and rifle shooting all my life while also moving on to a manufacturing job with impact wrenches and loud hydraulic motors and agitators and a spat of loud music in cars/trucks and home.
Yea! I'm an idiot because even in the mid-70's I had people tell me in the radio business to lower the sound or "you'll go deaf". Wear hearing protection with your 357 or "you'll go deaf"! And the ever popular "old guy" at the red-light who yells "turn that awful shit down or I'll get out of this car and mash your ass"!!! I wish the guy would have mashed my ass now. It's what I needed!
If I had a dollar for every time I have to say "what" to someone talking to me, I could have retired sooner!
