Farjamed,

I'm glad you brought this up. Hearing is not necessarily age related. It's the mileage that matters. One scientists compared 80 year olds in Africa to 18 year ols in America. The old Africans, who did not employ modern technology, had better hearing.
Did you know that a hammer hitting a nail is within one Db of a chainsaw, and that the hammer is more damaging to hearing because the chainsaw produces constant noise? Always use hearing protection while fixing the house. Always wear hearing protection at stadium concerts. Never play those ratty MP3's loud enough for the whole bus to hear. When you get old, barring illness, your hearing will be great.
