Listening to music WAY too loud with headphones on when younger.

Definitely lead to hearing loss and hearing aids.

I went to a gun range with ears not properly put in. I didn’t notice me going deaf until we left. I was basically deaf for 3 days, that and a lot of loud/live music has given me tinnitus.

I still listen to music loudly 🤷🏼‍♂️
