I'm not sure of a correlation between age and hearing loss, but I do know that there are factors that are in our control. The association between excessive volume and hearing loss has been made. Even short durations of exposure can cause a permanent change in hearing so it's important to take precautions. Using ear protection when operating any loud machinery is a must even if it's for a brief period of time.
I also wish bands wouldn't play so loud at weddings. At times when I've had the unfortunate luck to being seated at a table close to the band, I've gone home with my ears ringing for hours. My father used to say that they should give out earplugs to everyone. It might not be a bad idea.
