Yes I had some hearing loss already. It got progressively worse as time went on. I didn’t need hearing aides until about eight years ago. Still have tinnitus even with them on. I’m so accustomed to the noise that it rarely bothers me.

Symposiums I've attended on tinnitus have pointed out that most people who have hearing loss also have some degree of tinnitus. However, everyone with tinnitus does not have hearing loss. Those of us who can adjust to the tinnitus sounds without letting them bother us terribly are fortunate. People with hearing loss, even mild hearing loss, should realize they are most likely susceptible to further noise induced hearing loss and do all they can to protect their hearing.
