If you have played as much as I did in the orchestra (about 8000 performances & 3000 rehearsals with my last orchestra during 40 years on first chair, but also 6 years full orchestra - opera & symphony before in two other orchestras, all the extra jobs during about 50 years playing professionally), no wonder about developing tinnitus, like me. But also hearing difficulties which manifest themselves as a certain difficulty understanding fast speech & sloppy speech and if many people speak crosswise to each other. But I can live with that & enjoy retirement, still soloing from time to time for charity or participating in our orchestra composed from retired professionals & lay musicians. It is great fun. The more alive ex pro ?, well, it is great fun to enthusiast the lay musicians to play better & better, to entertain the audiences. This orchestra exists now 29 years.
