I listen to my stereo for at least an hour a day and my left ear has been bothering me lately so I keep the volume down some when I'm actually in the room. Ear fatigue is real so I pay attention to it. I play drums for fun in my spare time too and wear ear protection when I do. I know some damage has occurred over the years from concerts, loud music etc. My advice is, just pay attention to how your ears feel, be aware of the volume when listening to music and do the best to protect your ears. I'm 57. I would never go to a concert anymore without at least carrying my ear plugs in case I needed them. I use the ETY plugs
ear care
I work in a loud enviroment, about 85 to 90 db. I wear foam ear plugs 29 nrr and ear muffs 30 nrr. I work a 12 hour shift but no more than 3 days in a row. I also wear hearing protection when mowing the yard, snow blower, and motorcycling.I'm 56 years old. Will probably work up to 65. My right ear is fine. The left ear rings which is probably why it does not test as well as the right ear. It has had this ring since I was about 19.I only listen to music about 4 hours a week. Peak spl about 94 db. Most of the music is below that. Listen to classical, jazz, blues, blugrass, and a little bit of rock.Any audiophiles out there that work in similar conditions and care about there ears. I'm hoping to enjoy this hobby into my 70s if I live that long with decent hearing.
