I have the same issue, and I'm only 29, which is why I was so quick to reply to the original mower. I actually don't have any hearing loss per se, yet, but the tinnitus is *extremely* annoying and probably a portent of worse things to come. I still don't know where mine came from, which makes it doubly irritating. Maybe about 10 loud concerts in my life, only 2 or 3 of which were without earplugs, no loud stereos or headphones, and I don't even travel that much. -- eq72521 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ eq72521's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1512 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21414 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
