Listening devices when will they start to fail?

I am 57 years of age. Notice I did not use the word (old). My hearing is still in pretty good shape. I recently had a hearing test and the Doc said my hearing was above average, for my age. There are days my body feels more like I am 67 instead of 57 though....

I was wondering at what age I will no longer be able to fully enjoy the music from my audio system.
What is your age, and how is your hearing? Had it checked lately? Any 70 year young guys out there that still enjoy the music from an audio system? Give me hope!

I wish that were true, but like everything else of the human body age takes it's toll....

"Age related hearing loss is a progressive loss of the ability to hear high frequencies, which occurs as people get older"

Seems it starts at the ripe old age of 18....
