when I was around 52 a buddy of mine bought me an Eric Clapton ticket as a good gesture for favors done - It never even occurred to me, was surprised with 4th row seats - I couldn't hear ANYTHING from my left ear for 2 1/2 days and it over doubled my tinnitus - one of those "wish I'd thought of that" moments - people look funny at you when ya walk into a Tim McGraw concert wearing muffs at Autzen …….I, too, have hearing loss at a young-ish age(32 but had it for years now). Mine came from playing in bands when I was younger.
I think it’s funny when the brake threads come up, someone inevitably mentions how brakes kill your hearing so they don’t recommend them so you don’t have to worry about hearing protection.
What’s even more surprising is how many people are against hearing protection at all in a sport where having your hearing kinda helps a lot. They’re worried about missing animals due to putting in hearing protection, but what about that animal slipping out the back that you can’t hear?
