The white pulp of oranges (citrus) is loaded with Flavinoids.

At 73...yeah, me too. All of it. In a crowded restaurant, all I hear sounds like a flock of geese cackling as they work over a field...

Jet noise when young seems to kill hearing the worst. I worked on jets as a young military enlistee for about 12 years and have heard poorly since about 40...and really bad since 50. I am looking to try some of the Lyric hearing aids that are placed deep inside the ear and are invisible and you only have them changed when the battery dies. I would never wear the others...or would lose them.

59 here and still love music... I was pretty good about wearing hearing protection when working construction (back in the day when it was smirked at) and started wearing ear plugs when the garage band started getting super loud.
However in a bar/restaurant/crowd with lots of people talking and background music I struggle to hear what people are saying... but even when I was young I could never figure out why people go to loud crowded places and try to have a conversation.

I guess what I'm hearing (yuk yuk) is that there's nothing unusual going on here, just the normal receding of youth and advancing of death.

Yep, just one of the things encountered on that path to the grave...

I have hereditary hearing loss. My dad's mother was deaf, my dad had severe hearing loss and I slight hearing loss but it's got worse as I have aged. I have had tinnitus from teenager, my ears ring constantly so quiet is very noisy for me.
My oldest had chronic ear infections as a kid - the ENT said his ear canal and sinus passages look like mine. Better medical treatment - he doesn't have the problems I had. You make adjustments - I wear hearing protection at work on the manufacturing floor, concerts, using leaf blowers, lawn mowers and snow blowers.

I figure somebody would bring that subject up. The way I see it is that the faculties are dulled over time such as hearing, balance, energy level etc etc. Then it is up to the individual whether he leaves this world raging or goes quietly in to the night. Oops taking this thread sideways....

Other than the sounds of people eating and chewing, nothing really bothers me.
