If you reread my post,you will see that I said no permanent"detectable" hearing loss.My hearing has been tested every two years for the past 25 years and as of the last test,no permanent hearing loss has been detected.
Don't get the underware all in the bunch there captian, but every time your ears ring there is hearing damage plain and simple. It takes time and repatition for the effect to build up, and usually hearing falls off very subtly and very gradually (read undectable by run of the mill tests,) and then tanks all of a sudden. Sorry I isulted you, was just floating a warning to people. I work in a enviroment conducive to hearing loss, and I don't want my fun stuff to add onto what I spend money to avoid at work.
