Not done the test but I know my hearing is knackered and for me it seems to be a genetic thing. My younger brother had his hearing properly checked out a few years ago and was diagnosed with otosclerosis. He had one ear operated on and it helped, but chose not to have the other ear done and now has hearing aids in both ears. He’s 38.
My hearing is simialrly bad. We’d both assumed our hearing loss was due to loud music as youngsters (gigs & car hifi) but his audiologist said his hearing loss was more dramatic than she’d expect from such relatively normal use and it was more in line with extened occupational exposure. The fact mine is bad too led her to suggest a family genetic weakness.
I’ve been putting off getting checked properly, I know it’ll be very depressing.
