[QUOTE="Steverino, post: 5463888, member: 13481"] Deafness is always blamed on loud noises. I have had hearing tests over the years but recently (several years) I noticed a distinct drop especially trying to understand the wife who has speech problems as part of her cerebellar degeneration. So I was prescribed by an audiologist hearing aids. Didn't wear them for a year or so. But things kept getting worse so I went back for a visit and test and there was more loss. I attributed it to a life time of loud music - I play guitar and my amps went to 11. She said no - I have surfers ear from cold water exposure when I was young - the beach up north - and also as of this round of tests this year - hereditary deafness. She said the pattern shown by the test analysis of frequencies I can't hear is right in line with people who have known hereditary deafness or hearing impairment. I did do some dumb things going to loud concerts etc and playing too loud It is always wise to protect your hears - I wear and have worn in ear protection and when shooting loud guns, mowing, tractor work, etc. I put on headphones too when protecting from handgun blasts and big rifles. Suppressors would be great. I'm wearing headphones when I play guitar with a band so I can control the volume and hear everyone. I tell you its weird when you hear some frequencies and not others well - notes can change and the G you thought you were playing is really a C without aid. [/QUOTE]
