My hearing deficits are becoming clear...

From a background of NOISE making, I can tell you protect what you have. This may sound strange but taking care of your ears, nose and throat can really help. People say it only gets worse, I KNOW with care it can get better.  Stay away from "LOUD", I don't care if its a train going by or an aircraft taking off, protect yourself..ENT doctors will tell you clean your ears with great care, gargle for your nose and throat.. 

Don't smoke cheap tobacco or weed. No smoking at all is best, BUT if you must... Cheap is NO GOOD. Booze, what can I say. I don't drink BUT if I did, no cheap stuff.. A  "single" Single malt maybe once every couple of years..

I also had two underlying problem with tinnitus, and hypersensitivity. I had my heart repaired and ALL of the tinnitus symptoms subsided. Last test I was good to over 16K at 65+ years old. A lifetime of "Loud" can leave you in a world of NOTHING. Protect what you have.

They make BIG EARS, look goofy but work pretty good with an adj or two... It's a collection device for worn ears..

Besides, most of what folks are talking about goes in one ear and out the other, anyways... LOL MUCIC, though!!!!!!

Hat on the floor, as I slowly walk around to the beat of the music.. my faithful dog following me... OLAY......Amego....

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I'm guessing "acoustic trauma" is being around a lot of loud noise or having someone slap or pop your ears. I've been around the loudest CRAP on earth. Puff suits and doubles, Plugs and fitted muffs.. We were trained to keep our mouth shut too. Great collection point for noise too.

I was trained by my father, retired USAF master mechanic. His hearing was very good. He taught me HOW to protect my ears. Use to hunt as a kid.. Plugs in or no hunting..

I had great teachers, but first and foremost, protect your hearing.
No loud music in my house..LOL

Time to feed the chickens, I can hear them cluckin'

@ oldhvymec, find it very interesting that your tinnitus subsided after your heart repair, please elaborate to the repair and any thoughts of why if shared to you by your surgeon or cardiologist.

His name was Reddy and a God sent.  My BP was 190>< over 110><, off the chart. With the stents in place and thinners 90/60 is a wake up BP and 140/85 if I walk at a good pace..

After a walk before, It took 2 hours for my ears to stop the darn ringing, and thumping in my ears.. Now I get none of the 2000-5000hz ring...And none of the old chest thumping. I don't FEEL my heart like I use to..

I never had heart or chest pain. It felt like someone was trying to push the air out of me BUT from my back. My stomach was just BOILING. I was sick to my stomach for 11 weeks until the SECOND stent was put in.
45 SECONDS, after the second stent was put in my stomach quit boiling.
MAGIC..

I also had an underlying thyroid condition, made for a minor adjustment of an injection of alcohol directly.. Lets say I've been shot and it felt a whole lot better..:-)

So GUYS be aware I was the 10-15% that didn't have chest pain, I had stomach issues.. It was my heart. I'm 66, 6 foot 190lb and 12% body fat, not an out of shape guy... 

The actual problem was a blood clot. YUP a nasty bruise on my inner thigh.

Now how about those "Big Ears", they work...
