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 have mild tinnitus from when I used to play in a metal band.

Only noticeable in very quiet conditions, but still, I wish I had been smarter.

Now I always use ear plugs at gigs. Ain't worth it.

I also don't listen to headphones loudly.

When I'm on a train and I can hear other people's music from their own earbuds, it makes me feel sick at the damage they must be doing.
