I perceive there is probably an increase in hearing deterioration, and
thst it's so because of that immoderate noise called rock music and
especially for me falling asleep listening listening to the radio and
audio books on earphones & other devices.
I betcha most people who've played in rock bands are now somewhat hard
of hearing ?

Peter Townshend:
Townshend suffers from partial deafness and tinnitus as a result of
extensive exposure to loud music through headphones and in concert,
including The Who concert at Charlton Athletic Football Ground, London,
on 31 May 1976 that was listed in the Guinness Book of Records, where the
volume level was measured at 126 decibels 32 metres from the stage. In
1989, Townshend gave the initial funding to allow the formation of the
non-profit hearing advocacy group H.E.A.R. (Hearing Education and
Awareness for Rockers)
