It's creepin up from the south too. I grew up in a tiny town right on the CO/NM border that went from a poor but decent town to breaking bad in a few years. It was always a really poverty stricken town. But throw in a huge meth epidemic and the whole place is just collapsing in on itself.

Ever since the VA service connected my hearing loss I have an excuse when I " don't hear" my wife. Lol.

It actually is a male trait to lose (or loose I need spellcheck to understand context) at the higher frequencies but have you had an analysis of your voice? You may actually be outside the range of his hearing loss, there's your evidence.
He has a hefty amount of mid-range loss due to TCE exposure too.

Sorry for that. Assuming the chemical exposures were before the 80's its unfortunate, if after thats employer negligence.
LOL tell that to the USAF.

I worked in health and safety and cant tell you the number of times my recomendations were either wholy ignored or fiscally impractical for a small business owners. The victories were few and far between and I can be pretty harsh so I'm relieved this was not an injury sustaind as a result of him owning his own business because I understand those difficulties too.
OSHA was a joke before the current administration and will continue to be a joke in the future, they are ineffectife in passing regulation and the penalty process is a joke. Employers will pay more for environmental damage than taking a human life. Kicker if you didnt know - government entities are not required to follow osha. There were very few people that actually ever wanted my help so I got jaded and left.
Heavy diesels screaming in confined spaces will do it too.
When I started in Ships the old timers would say "You'll get used to it".
You do of course, . . . when you go deaf.
Did you get tinnitus from your loss?Heavy diesels screaming in confined spaces will do it too.

I worked in quality control for several years in different companies. It's not that much different there either.
I shut down one production line because the tolerances coming off the line were 100% off
from the specs. The plant manager opened the line without making changes. When I pointed out
the problems he said "We have a deadline to meet so run the parts. By the time the customer finds out they don't meet specs we will have the line retooled and the new parts ready for them."
Same manager is also quoted saying "We may shoot ourselves in the foot, BUT we reload real quick." What an idiot that SOB was.
I stayed there for a year only because of the after work parties.
All of the employees were stoners and that manager was a drunk.
Maybe that is why they are no longer in business
I've heard that from some MBAs. I always wondered how that was considered a sustainable philosophy? It seems people think that permanent records do not exist.I worked in quality control for several years in different companies. It's not that much different there either.

I went to have coffee with my cousin this morning and give him a lift into town. While were driving I seen one of my buddies at a bus stop waiting. So we pull up and he's actually headed the same direction as me...I ask if he wants a ride....he says yeah...is it cool if my boy comes along to.....I said sure hop in ....so as these guys are hopping in ....the one guy I don't know sees the giant speakers in the back and says wow I bet those sound good..... I said yeah it sounds decent....I told him it's turned down so I don't start making done lights fall off the roof and window/lock switches fall into the door ......So were driving along for a while and I have music playing low while were all bullshitting catching up......dude tells me it sounds clean.....So I said ya ...il let you hear it .....again I told him it's not pushing much power because I don't wana ruin my truck from the vibrations.....keep in mind both these boys are big tatted up boys.......so I hook my phone in and select a song that hits good ......So I put the song on and it plays just music with good mids and highs at first..........The first bass note dropped and not even 5 seconds in ...I feel my cousin smacking my shoulder ....my first thought was turn the stereo down....maybe he seen a cop....so as I'm turning the stereo down I look back at the same time....... Homeboy that I don't know literally looks like he's having a stroke/seizure ....no shit when I first saw him for a split second I thought he was in trouble....he had his hand up to his head ....his fucking mouth was open and literally so far off to one side he could have bitten his own ear off.....and both fucking legs and one arm were sticking straight out like he'd been knocked out...... I guess he wasn't expecting the feeling on his body....as soon as I turned it down he was fine.....I was genuinely asking if he was cool/alright......and apologizing.....He said yeah no problem and played it off like no big deal ...... Me and my cousin laughed until we cried for 5 minutes straight as soon as we dropped them off......it's funny now, but I seriously thought he was in a bad way for a second....OMG lol
My cousin thought the exact same thing as me.......LOL
Dude was fine though..... I could tell he was hella embarrassed. I actually felt bad for him. In my defense I've been stuffed up with allergies for days now....My fucking ears have been popping constantly.....so it was probably louder than I thought......guarantee he shit his pants though ...lol..... I gave him a huge chunk of bubble hash because I felt bad.

i think that stupidity must be a world wide thing...i used to work for global electric motorcars, built the little electric cars that old people drive around retirement communities.
for a year all i did was jack up already built cars, take the back brakes off, replace the lever that operates the emergency brake, and put it all back together. they had a company in Italy manufacture the levers and they made them too thick, so when you pulled on the hand brake, it wouldn't release. i can just see your manager, with an italian accent and a mustache, saying the same shit as they send us 10 thousand fucked up parts

i hear shit in white noise...i don't know if that's a form of deafness or not, but its weird sometimes. the ac is a big old unit, and it makes all kinds of wheezes and groans and ticks...and i hear music in it....clear enough that i've gotten up to look outside to see who was playing music at 3 am in my driveway....and lots of people talking at once just sounds like a bunch of ducks quacking to me...really...a trip to the mall sounds like 1000 ducks, with muzack in the background

I'm pretty sure you have gang bangers outside your window with little triangles. (it's revenge!)

Bathroom fan is the source of voices I hear here.
The ringing gets real bad when I go to the cabin and the loudest source of noise is my heartbeat.
