I know I have hearing damage, Because of cranking my guitar amp next to my right ear and from blasting my infinity components I used to have.

So, How much RINGING do you have in your ears when you go to sleep and all is quiet?

 

No ringing for me, and I have a perforated ear drum. Despite common belief, your ears heal. I used to be nearly half def in my left ear, now I can hear just fine, but certain frequencies don't register as well as they used to. For example, I can hear 3-5khz down to 0dB, but for 1-3khz I can only hear down to 20dB.

 

none , was born 90% deaf due to huge masses of scar tissue on my inner ears.

almost always quiet when i go to bed.
cant have a converstion with sumbody unless i can look at them to lol.

 

Your ears may heal to a certain extent. But once it goes too far there's no going back.

 

Constant ringing. Sometimes it drives me nuts when all is quiet in the house. And it's not from cranking it. When I was about 10, I helped my dad in the workshop. He used a 7" hard wheel grinder on steel quite often to clean up welds. I was his C-clamp. So I was about 2 ft away from the noise and sparks without ear plugs or safety glasses. lol!

 

My right ear-drum sometimes distorts when I listen to bad quality speakers loudly, mostly with head-phones. High frequencies, without good mid-bass, make it worse. I don't like listening to music so loudly that I twitch or blink everytime a snare hits, anymore.

 

It is to the point now that I can't get to sleep at night without some other source of noise, tv, radio, etc. The ringing is so loud it keeps me awake.

 

Can't hear any highs/mids in my left ear, can hear about 60% with my right.
I know how you feel AyZe , half the time I read lips and guess what ppl are saying.
I also have ringing in my ears, my father has it also. The doc diagnosed him with something called ear tinnitus. It doesn't go away, or heal. Just drives you nuts all day and when it screeches(yes screeches) in your ear. It can almost bring you to your knees..

Sleeping is easy when the ears arent ringing, I just sleep on my right ear and effectivley deafen myself..
