Interesting thread, I have had it since the 90's, neglected to wear hearing protection on the job around loud machinery, shooting without ear protection added to it, once I realized the damage I started using ear plugs to persevere what's left, testing once a year at work has me diagnosed as having profound hearing loss. Lots of ringing and hissing, at night sometimes I go to sleep hearing imaginary music playing. Besides the imaginary music and asking people to repeat what they say I don't really even think about it.
