So, everybodys got it, including me. Is there anything to fix it? I've seen advertisements claiming to be able to cure it. Just never tried.

Maybe when RFK jr. gets confirmed we can push for a federal law making suppressors legal in all 50 states.


not so sure HE'D be the right guy for that push...

X2 it is nerve damage and will only get worse.

Those claims are bogus as well. I have had his since first time in the service.

Started working underground at 18. Everything in the mine is loud. We didn’t know anything about hearing protection. By 21, my ears were ringing. Spent 37 years at it, did wear earplugs the last 20 years. I’m very careful around noise now, but the damage has already been done.

Hope you are getting your 10% disability for tinnitus. You earned it the hard way.
I'm fighting the va for a higher rating for my extreme hearing loss. I too have the right to hearing aids and free hearing tests and such.

I have hearing loss too, but I don't feel I got it while in the army like I know I did the tinnitus. But, hearing aids are poorly covered by Medicare. Found out I can get them through the VA, though.

Don't rely on ear plugs. Wear the same ear muffs you would use while target shooting. I wear ear muffs when I'm cutting grass on my riding lawn mower or while I'm running a chain saw.
