What I want to know is where can I get an ear cup hat like your grandmother is wearing? Dare say it would help those of us who have hearing degredation. May be the best tweak of all. Just don’t let your buddies catch a look.
For what its worth on this subject: recently purchased a digital DB meter for under $50 on Amazon to determine where my listening habits were at. I’m 66 and have lost 20% in my R ear, mostly from hunting as a youth (left handed). Experts suggest anything above 85 dB for more than 8 hours does permanent damage. I use it to max volume at/under 82db and limit time to 4 hours max. Also religiously use ear muffs when operating power equipment. Now its about preservation.
