Glad you are ok op,)
2 things spring to mind for me;
Back in 79/'80 I went for interview as a clerk at post office.
I failed hearing test. Had a test at guys hsp. Never did get results.
I was 16 and naive.i saw iron maiden at Lyceum the night before.
4 years ago, had medical formu new job& was food I have 'perfect hearing'
Regarding drums at rehearsal: a couple of times, I used to bend down setting equipment up, and mr.drums had a habit of thumping the foot pedal while I'm in front of drumkit. Very loud and deafening(,
If I join a band again, earplugs at rehearsal for sure.
