I’m 55.

I as part of the first generation of Walkmans attended lots of love music events and worked in a machine shop for 10 yrs.

Most of that time with little or no ear protection.
I got really cool looking desert tan camo hearing aids I wear all the time now.

Not being able to clearly hear someone talk isn’t the worst if it. It’s not being able to hear the rain fall, or birds chirp.

Protect that shit.
