    I feel for you. Thankfully not a sufferer but my dad has a terrible case. He owned a sandblasting company for years and wasn’t always good about ppe. When the audiologist showed us how loud it was to him it was crazy, a ringing that made hearing others talk difficult. He is totally deaf in one ear due to vertigo operation, and partially deaf in the other. Has the highest level of hearing aid and next is a baja or cochlear implant. He’s told me that some days he’s thought he’d rather be deaf than keep the ringing.

    I get out of tech talk from time to time. Equipment tested in nature's padded room...or if it's a particularly burly rock studded line; beyond thunderdome.

    Gravel skiing, FTW.

    fwiw: If anyone's interested in the optimum method to drag skis and a spade shovel to the top of yer gravel run, this is it.
