I can't hear a thing anymore, the Audiologist asked we what I think caused it, I told him my wife has screaming orgasms. His nurse handed me her card as I was leaving!
From the "wall of sound" Marshall stacks in the '60's, being a tank gunner in the early '70's, and everything since; I can't remember when my ears didn't ring.
At least it blocks out the wife (guess I'm a glass half full kind of guy)!
Hey, my relatively minor hearing loss in one ear and the tinnitus are the least of my long list of physical debilitations. Then, there's the post-60 mental/psychological diminishment & slippage...
I still do better than hold my own with most that are half my age, in spite of Father Time.
