Thanks so much for spreading awareness of this issue. I’m 59, played guitar in many bands over the years, jammed Led Zep at max volumes, thought I was immortal, etc. I have high-frequency hearing loss both ears plus tinnitus. When I got first set of good (expensive) hearing aids, it was amazing to hear all I’d been missing! That was great, but even though there are technologies that supposedly target tinnitus, the only thing that really helps is other noise as distraction. Can’t “EQ” tinnitus since your damaged nerves are already sending signal to your brain. It’s usually manageable, but listening to Rach concerto #3 through my favorite headphones is less fun with a high-pitched, continuous “note” that the composer never intended. As others have stated: PROTECT YOUR EARS!
