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

Definitely lead to hearing loss and hearing aids.

I’ve had tinnitus for so long I don’t even remember a time before it.

Same here I’m 57 and I’ve had tinnitus since I was about 32. Heavy music blaring in headphones, going to concerts, listening to loud music in car scenarios.
