My hearing is excellent for an old fart of 76. With the exception of that one "notch" on my left ear that told the examiner that I'd shot a lot with no hearing protection.

You can lay there and turn away and open your mouth and plug your ears... but that shit gets thru anyway.

Buddy who has tinnitus really bad got a 10% disability for it. Great trade, huh?
