The modern stereo system

I prefer loud music, whenever i can. But not beyond what i can tolerate. Previous job had hearing tests once a year,and i had the best hearing in my department. As a mechanic i figured my hearing would get worse after so many years of using air tools. I do use hearing protectors in extreme conditions.
Please dont tell my wife. i’m not hard of hearing, i just dont listen.

I wear earplugs at work religiously. And I no longer listen to music loud. Good times growing up but now I'm older and life moves on lol.... In fact I use hearing protection whenever the situation arises....
