Hearing Bugles Until Your Last Hunt
I'm 47 now and I have a really hard time hearing normal conversations. Never thought it would happen to me.

Sorry for resurrecting this post, but as someone who recently developed NIHL that led to tinnitus, I found this very helpful. I'd love to connect and ask you some questions if you don't mind reaching out as well @westonadkins ! Thank you
He’s still active on the site.

Let me know if you don’t hear from him, I might be able to help.
 
@westonadkins do you have any thoughts/advice to share on the over the counter hearing aid options recently (fairly recently) made available? As I understand it they can be purchased without seeing an audiologist. Good, bad, what to look out for, etc?
As always, thanks.
