Yeah, you know it. I played in a band when I was younger and generally had the speakers to my keyboards right behind my head. Tinitis is with me always. I just don't think about it, but it is there, nonetheless. A constant whine that never stops. Plus there were times that I shot high powered rifles and handguns without ear protection. Yeah, my mom DID tell me I would ruin my hearing, but did I listen? Nah...... I was one of those dumb kids who thought older people just didn't know what the heck they are talking about. And that's not the only advice I got back then that I wished I had REALLY paid attention to.
