Which age category do you fall in?

Could the hearing problem stem from all the loud music young people have used for most of their lives.. be very careful with hearing loss.. once gone , it rarely can be fixed with even modern applications or surgery.:zip:

Yes, I'd have to say that's where the problem resides. All the band gigs, clubs and portable music playing at full volume are deteriorating my hearing capabilities

A couple years back, I started becoming very conscious about this and started listening to my music player at very moderate levels. In-ear headphones cancel out the noise outside which give me a sense of comfort while listening.

Hopefully, my hearing problems don't grow worse.

To tell you the truth I think I will be much worse at my "old" age. I'm turning 22 in a few months and I already have some hearing difficulties.

Could you repeat that? I didn't catch what you said.

Yeah, hopefully I don't get to that stage soon.

Yup. Well, at least I'm now more careful with my listening levels.

Not to mention you will probably develop a constant ringing in your ears that will remain for the rest of your life JUST from being exposed to loud noise in your youth. I worked in construction hearing loud noises and liked to shoot at the rifle range sometimes without ear protection, and now for the last 20 years I hear a constant hissing in my ears. It sounds like when someone hits you in the ear and your ears ring for a while.

Wow. Hopefully, I don't reach that.
