So far,  at age 50, I've experienced no hearing loss that I'm aware 
of.  The  last hearing test I took, when I was 46, resulted in the 
proclamation that  I had "superb hearing," so I don't feel the incentive to 
start using noise  filters while tuning pianos -- though I could see that 
changing if I found  myself in certain environments, such as Conrad was  
describing.

It is not so much hearing loss, as it is being irritated by the loud noise.  
10 years ago, I walked out of several clubs because the band played too loud.  
Once I went to an old time dinner theater with my family, and before the show 
 started, they had music playing very loud while people were being seated. 
That  put me into a deep depression. By the time the show actually started, 
which  was amplified, I walked out, and sat in the bar by myself, sulking. I am 
getting  the same feeling in church. As I said, my hearing is fine, but it is 
the  tinnitus that is now bothering my psyche.
