My right ear is it's own signal generator: 10kHz @ 80dB or so. 75% hearing loss. It's the vertigo that really wipes me out though. See: Meniere's disease.
But hey, every day is a gift.
When my doc suggested hearing aids, I just asked her if I could turn up my headphones louder? SHE SAID YES! Lol.
Hear me play horn in the 1977 CSULB marching band on Soundcloud (Rocky Fanfare - one of 180):
