For most of my life I expected, at some time, California would drop into the ocean.
Never thought that it would burn to the ground.

I knew for a time that I've lost some high frequency hearing. The Boss has wanted me to get my hearing checked for a year or two. I sometimes have trouble understanding what she says, especially when she's not looking at me. This week I went for a hearing test and learned a couple things. My high frequency hearing is absolutely terrible. That means that some words or parts of words I can't hear, so at times comprehension is a problem.
I'm now wearing hearing aids programmed to amplify high frequency sounds. The amplification will be increased over time, maybe for a year or two, to give my brain time to adjust to the new stimulus. I'm now hearing some minor sounds that I don't remember hearing before.

Do you have tinnitus as well?
That's my issue. 20 years working around jets on a daily basis as well as a lifetime of shooting have caused my ears to ring constantly, with an attendant loss of high frequency hearing.
I've been wearing hearing aids for about 5 years now. It helps a lot, but it's no cure.
I feel your pain.
