Another thread got sidetracked pretty badly from those of us who suffer hearing issues and thought I'd just start a new thread for those who suffer to share their thoughts and experiences.
Might be a helpful forum for those that are young and dumb like we were to motivate them to protect and cherish their hearing.
I have a 15% hearing loss in my left ear and constant tinnitus in both ears. Constant ringing. I have to sleep with a fan on or some other noise generator.
I'm only 51.
I served in the US military in the Navy and the Army and was around a lot of loud noises. The VA pays me monthly for my hearing issues. But I also shot quite a bit in my younger days with inadequate or non-existent hearing protection. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb!
My girlfriend makes fun of the fact that I have to have the TV on so loud in order to understand what people are saying. Only certain tones are drowned out. I can go hunting or hiking and hear everything, like a deer moving a branch, but for some reason, conversation tones are lost and I have trouble understanding what people are saying.
What are your stories and words of wisdom for the youngsters on here?
