[TenTec] Hearing ringing in ear

[Byron J. Watts]

a rock concert did it for me, though my hearing is still fairly good, if 
i stop and listen i have a high pitched ringing in both ears, the 
concert was in 6th grade when i was pretending to be tough and go 
without earplugs... dumb little snot that i was.  fortunately i can 
still hear CRT's and other high pitches just fine, though CRT's get on 
my nerves sometimes.  I'm 18 now, and it hasn't done any harm except to 
remind me to ALWAYS wear my earplugs when going to any concert.. along 
with taking whatever vitamin or medicine, i might mention that you 
should continue to protect your hearing.  grandpa's worked around circle 
saws and shop machinery all his life, he now has hearing aids in both 
ears, and he's still a little hard of hearing.  if he'd worn earplugs 
even 10 years ago his hearing would be in much better shape than it is now.
