Your hearing will start to take a gradual decline with age, regardless of your tuning technique. I, like you, prefer to tune softly without hard blows. But I have found that a quick jolt to a string has improved my unisons quite a bit. That jolt, and I'm guessing, is over 90db. Multiply that over one piano, numerous pianos during the day, etc..... ok I'm done!, -Phil Bondi(Fl)
