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?

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'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 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.
