Anyone else done a hard reset?

It was kind of decided for me. Increasing problems with my ears have meant Ive pretty much given up playing live. Even playing my cello without significant muting is difficult, tho it comes and goes. Seems yrs of loud music has basically destroyed them, and the weird thing is it creeps up on you without you even realising.

I gave up all music for a long time between 96 and the mid 2000s, but came back to it afterwards a lot more full on. I don't gig for the momey, I have a job that pays fine, I do it for the enjoyment of doing it and i will continue all the time the enjoyment is higher than the hassle. I can see a point in the near future where that might be happening, but I think if I get to that point I may just quit my main group and do something different.
