Been wearing aids for about 20 years thanks.

Finding specific info on harm from noise is hard .
Would like to know for instance if mine or some people are more sensitive to loud noise

Noise is one of the most frequent causes of sensorineural hearing loss. Some people are more susceptible to hearing loss from noise than others. Once sensorinueral hearing loss starts it is often progressive, so protecting the hearing you have is important.

Since you already have hearing loss and have used hearing aids for 20 years, you have most likely been tested several times during those years. Has your hearing loss gotten worse over time?
