never had it, or could hear it until about three years ago. now, if the decible level in the lounge room exceeds a certain level (family tea nights, upwards of 8 people), i can't sit in the same room. it's unfair of me to ask them to be quiet, so i cook for them, then i go to the office.
in the car, i have to ask for quiet. which for my wife is hard to do at work, in the workshop, if more than one grinder is going, i HAVE to wear ear plugs. and that is more than 20 feet away from the grinders. water from the shower stall hitting the tiles hurts my ears. and our staffies bark... **** me dead. on a normal day, in a quiet house, i sit on average, a 4. but, it's all dependent on the surroundings. (it never bothers me while sleeping, as the wife always is watching a show, but even then i have to ask her to turn it down quite often.)

Years ago, before news of the benefits of hearing protection reached rural northern Missouri, I went out shooting with my dad one day. We were primarily shooting a .357, and probably put a couple of hundred rounds through it. After that, my ears rang nonstop for months. Eventually it went away, but my hearing was never the same after that, and it's only gotten worse. I don't know if that's tinnitus or not, but I've been told that when your ears ring like that it's basically part of your eardrum dying, and after it stops you'll never hear anything in that particular sound range again.
Now, if I'm in a place with a lot of background noise, like a bar, I basically can't hear anything anybody says unless they're talking right in my ear. People probably think I'm an asshole because I don't talk much when I go out, but I just can't hear them, and long ago tired of leaning across the table yelling "WHAT?" over and over. Also, I may be an asshole regardless of hearing loss. Opinions vary. |

in my garage, everything with a motor, i have to wear hearing protection...
vacuum, i can't do it. we have kids that don't pay rent, so they can do it instead even stacking empty bottles for recycle, too loud. again, kids, money, recycling.

I'm kinda leaning towards Rainmans theory that all the waves from the devices and wifi we have around us have something to do with part of it. I basically got away from all the loud noise exposure in November of 2017 and about 3 months later it goes from level 5 straight to level 10 .
Was 2018 when they started this 5G stuff? |

Years of playing drums and being around loud amps got me. I've got about 20% loss in my left ear, and 10% loss in my right ear.
Not too bad but still pretty annoying. My tinnitus sounds like locusts singing in the summer time at sunset. Maybe that's why it doesn't bother me that much. That's a pretty cool sound.

When I wake up in the morning it's nowhere near as bad as it is by bedtime.
This morning it's at about a 2-3 level and I can barely hear the cicadas. By the time I go to bed it's a solid 7 and the cicadas are screeching constantly.

Mine is about a 4, Cicadas, but 100 yards away, but doesn't bother me too bad unless I think about it.

It is the most frequent VA disability rating given. Though your former service’s department may cover the VA rating as well through the CRSC/CRDP programs, if it applies to your status. https://www.dfas.mil/retiredmilitary...RDP--CRSC.html VA disability math is weird. I was recently moved from 70% to 100%. Tinnitus May have been an early indicator. |

Mine is mild, maybe a 2-3. My wife's is so bad she has a hard time understanding people with a certain pitch in their voice.

Mine varies from mildly annoying to to a full blown train yard. One of my jobs early in my telco life was to monitor inter-office trunks and that required plugging your headset in the monitor jack. Mind you was pre-digital transmission so all the gain was set manually. You don't want to plug into one that should be set at 1.5 and somebody missed the dot and set it to 15.
