Yes, hearing loss is tied to aging.
The old rule of thumb was everyone gets 150 years of hearing. Go to a loud rock concert, subtract a year. Fire a gun without ear protection, take off another year.
Factory work, leaf blowers, high speed driving with the window down, nagging wife... all chip away at it!
Well, I added the wife part, but the rest is true!
Anyone who thinks hearing aids are like glasses i.e. they give you normal hearing is sadly mistaken!
Protect your hearing... once it is gone, it's gone!
I have perfect hearing, but know many people with hearing aids.
