I have binaural hearing loss and tinnitus and wear a hearing aid in each ear. The audiologist determined that it came from things like helicopter engines, unmuffled electrical generators, small arms fire, and explosives while I was in the Army. For years I have worn hearing protection when I shoot, cut the grass, use power tools, and do other noisy things.

And I dislike loud music (i.e., too loud for comfort) as much as I dislike music played at the wrong tempo or off key.
