[QUOTE="Logar, post: 1484799, member: 31166"] pdfangus................ Son Of Butch has laid down some solid advice. Hearing loss can be insidious or sudden In 2013, just north of Jalalabad, my vehicle was hit with a couple of RPG's and completely destroyed. I woke up some time later with a couple of rather annoying issues and some serious hearing loss. The way that loss of hearing was measured was through a complete examination at a proper hearing clinic. That clinic did remove some ear wax. They also repaired some damage to the drums although I cannot tell you much about that. I make it a point to have my hearing tested on an annual basis now. Hearing aids of today are small, nearly invisible and certainly an amazing advance in technology. Tinnitus volumes can actually be measured in hearing clinics - so if there is also associated ringing, the hearing technicians can not only tell you how bad your ears ring, they can actually fit you out with hearing aids that counter that ringing to allow you to hear more efficiently. The biggest issue that you might have is that your hearing might decrease at an even faster rate as you age. In the end, do as I do and carry ear plugs in your pocket all the time. I do not even ride in an airliner without wearing them. Driving with the window open I now put them in - even that wind noise is a hearing killer that most do not realize. After eyesight, hearing is - in my opinin - the next most important "sense". Get it checked out, if hearing aides are required, get the best you can afford. The next step is now up to you. Do not put it off - it could get worse and it could get worse in a hurry. My best. [/QUOTE]
