[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3045206, member: 3099"] I'm 55 and I know I had some hearing loss in my early '30s. Had a hearing test at work and they noted it then. Mine came mostly from lot's of shooting without earpro and working in a machine shop with very large machines. Even though I did wear earpro and plugs most of the time at work, it's those times I didn't that got mine really going. The race cars, motorcycles and concerts didn't help either. I was tested somewhat recently and they said I'm a candidate for an implant in my left ear. I haven't pursued that because I have something going on with my sinuses and that's affecting my hearing. I need to get off my butt and see a ENT doc, I think I need tubes put in as my ears constantly have popping and are plugging up from the inside. Only after I'm confident my ears are clear and have a good hearing test will I consider surgery. Like mentioned it's very frustrating to actually hear someone talking to you just fine but can't make out what they are saying due to background sounds. I constantly tell my wife she needs to speak clearer not louder. I can hear her just fine :pissed: Other things are just gone. I have a couple of ringtones on my phone that I can't hear at all. Nothing, zero, nada. Silent. If it's in the vicinity of that higher frequency I do have real issues. [/QUOTE]
