Hearing loss seems fairly common among my friends, who were all big festival goers like myself. We all overdid the gigs, and suffered as a result.

Have you found similar, or did you look after your hearing a little better than I did?

I'll own up to having abused my hearing. I haven't had a noticeable hearing loss though, rather I have been left with tinnitus. It's annoying but I've learned to live with it.

I tried to protect my hearing as much as possible. I haven't noticed any noticeable hearing loss yet, but anything can happen. I have had bouts of tinnitus, but that's because I have TMJ and not from any abuse of my ears. Audio, I agree it is very annoying!

I spent too many years going to concerts every month and listening to music on headphones every night. I know I've done damage to my hearing! When I was young, I didn't even think about stuff like hearing loss. I'm probably lucky to still have what hearing is left!

I don't think that anyone really considers their hearing, or what may happen when they're older when they are enjoying their younger years. It's a shame really, because I was warned of all of this, but I just brushed it off.

Apart from my hearing haven been damaged by noise from those extremely loud speakers at concerts and discos, my doctor identified part of my hearing loss as originating from antibiotic abuse.

I know what you mean about concerts. Too many years of concerts and standing by the speakers have done some damage. My better half played in a band when he was younger and has noticeable hearing loss to show for it. We never thought about what the loud music was doing to us at the time.

I'm in the same boat. I wish I would have protected my ears better when I was younger. I now try to wear ear plugs when I'm around loud things (we cut wood in the summer and I always wear them around the chainsaw). I keep telling my kids that they will be deaf like me if they don't turn their music down!

Let's chat!

I think the damage is already done for some of these kids today. I walk by them and can hear their music clearly from their headphones and earbuds. That tells me they are blasting that music in their ears.

I am also suffering from partial loss of hearing, and I did not even attend loud rock concerts and other similar events. I did however turn the volume of my earphones probably too high while working on my computer - day and night, year after year.

Fortunately with technology advancing so rapidly, we now have the option of micro-implants to aid our hearing. I have to admit, it will take a lot to get me to wear large, visible hearing aids.
