Way too late for me, since I started deafening myself in garages and basements with an electric guitar at age 15 and I'm 72, graduated from grarages to bars and clubs and moderate venues... and although these days I play at lower volume most of the time, I still like it loud.... and I require multi-thousand-dollar hearing aids so that I can hear my daughter's and wife's voices.

But perhaps these findings can help somebody else.

Unless they're like me and ignore the good advice I was given as a teenager: "Turn that shiite down yer gonna go deaf!". Oh well....

My multi-thousand dollar hearing aides from the VA work wonderfully, and I can turn my wife off...................😜

I worked in very loud industrial plants for 30 years. I have high frequency hearing loss as well. Women’s and children’s voices. Mostly I hear gibberish and I have to read lips. But when I take off the hearing aids at night, I can’t hear much of anything and sleep very well.
