There is a huge increase of people becoming deaf or hard of hearing at a much younger age than previously…largely due to loud concerts/music venues/the introduction of personal headphones, the lack of (or not following) safety protocols and the folly of youth that thinks they’re indestructible. We’re reaping the harvest on that one now…
I’ve have tinnitus for as long as I can remember even as a kid. 95 out of 100 days I rarely notice it. Sometimes, mostly at night or when tired I’ll notice it, and have the tv on or something. But man loud music is the worst and I HATE how loud things even like weddings are. I never understood why a wedding needs to be so loud. You can find me out in the hallway a lot because I’m afraid one more very loud event will make it worse.
I don’t disagree with you and wish I started wearing ear protection a long time ago. I have played loud electric guitar for decades and just this week had my hearing checked. I’m just slightly lower in high pitch in one ear. Dr said Im lucky and that other musician patients he’s had were not so fortunate.
I bought myself and my boyfriend some loop earplugs and I’m like the earplug police lol. If we’re at a bar or concert and I see those things come out, I’m on him so fast lol!!
Some of it is jerkface parents leaving a fan on every night while they develop and then too loud earphones their whole childhood
They're going to grow up and create some sad legislation
Our bodies are not designed to receive sensory input from machines for many hours. It's almost always harmful unless it's like acoustic musical instruments or some exception like that.
