When I started shooting, back around the time Mastodons went on the Endangered Species list(G), we knew little about the importance of protecting sight and hearing. Still seeing out of both eyes, but I hear crickets, whistles and hums that do not exist.Following a conversation in a restaurant is difficult.

Last hearing test the Doc summed it up nicely. " You're 54 but your ears are 75".....
