[QUOTE="bigjohnsd, post: 1220227, member: 86475"] My hearing was permanently damaged from 5" Naval Gunfire while standing on the Bridge Wings of the USS Joseph Strauss (DDG-16) as the Weapons Liaison Officer. Had to leave one ear exposed on the S/P phones to hear the Captain, Left ear has a documented severe loss from that one tour of duty, right ear suffered damage as well but not enough for the VA to call it a disability. I also used to shoot skeet without earplugs, drive and work around both drag race cars and Sprint cars without ear plugs. The open headers on those vehicles surely contributed to my problems today. Tinnitus, your ever present friend, always chirping, singing or whispering in ones ears. Thankfully mine is not so severe that it keeps me awake, but it is always present. If i ride without my earplugs for any appreciable distance, 30 minutes or more, I have to increase the volume on my hearing aids at least two levels once i get off the bike, take the helmet off and insert the hearing aids. May be anecdotal but it is reality! Do what you want, Hunh? What did you say? Say Again? Repeat that! Speak Up, Quit Mumbling.......... One more thing.....My Sex life has really improved now that my wife doesn't have to shout or repeat herself nearly as much as she used to. [/QUOTE]
