Speak for yourself...mine are still excellent
at age 60. I've taken care of them by using earplugs riding motorcycles,
shooting or using loud equipment.
I detest loud rock music and pity all those people
whose in-car boom boxes rattle my rear view mirror
when they pull alongside. They're going to wake up at
about age 40 and wonder why their hearing is gone. I
plan to still be hearing the weak ones on Topband
into my 90's (Mom will be 99 on January 1)! :-)
