Hearing loss is progressive. You won’t even notice it at first. You’ll just be sitting around one day and suddenly you’re half deaf in one ear and have roaring tinnitus in the other.
And it doesn’t even take overly loud sounds to cause irreparable damage. A typical motorcycle engine is loud enough. Music turned up slightly too loud. Hell simply clapping your hands can do it.
I started too late (undergrad) wearing earplugs all the time at shows/other loud things. I don’t think I have much hearing loss (thankfully) but I do get the buzzing every so often (I know it could be worse, and am grateful it isn’t).
Hearing protection is not something to take lightly (I know you know, but just to reiterate for others reading).
Wow. I used to work in retail in a let’s say, low income not working area and this is pretty spot on. I legit got people come to the counter with instant noodles for their child and then have the nerve to buy fags, scratch cards and lottery tickets. Ah yes so this is where my tax is going
