How many of you have tinnitus/hearing loss because of using headphones/loud music over the years? Did you do something about it? If you don't have those, how did/do you avoid getting them? (self.headphones)

I'm sure I have some tinnitus, but not to an extent where it really bothers me.

Over-ear headphones allow me to listen to things at a much lower volume while still hearing the whole thing.

I think I have tinitus, to the point where it is extremely mild. Or maybe it's just normal? It started in my early 20's which coincided with a period of loud music and concerts over an extent period of time.

It's a very low hiss that comes and goes now and then. I can only hear it when it's relatively quiet around me, and it is easily masked by anything that I try to listen to.
