Had mine ring for about the last 10 years between shooting, rock, and heavy equipment. You get to a point that you dont notice it unless you think about it... like I just did.....

Add me to the list, I can’t hear any high pitch noises and have a constant ringing in my ears. Failed every hearing test I’ve ever taken due to too many shotgun blasts next to my ear hunting on the wrong side of a left handed buddy. Crickets chirping, rattlesnake buzzing, fire alarms, my watch beeping.... I can’t hear any of it

My right ear I have a constant ringing, too many guns and saws in my life without proper protection. My left ear is a slight ringing occasionally. I never shoot or use power tools without protection. I have to sleep with fans on, or I can't sleep.
Don't let it get you down, you will adjust to it, and get to the point where you don't even notice it.

In 2012 I made a really stupid mistake. While leaving the ranch, I saw a group of pigs feeding in the brush. I was the only person in the truck so since I’m left handed, I figured I’d just shoot out the passenger side window. I never thought to get the muzzle completely out of the window. I let her rip and OMG. This rifle had a muzzle break so it was like a grenade going off in my right ear. Unfortunately my right ear still rings to this day. The first couple of weeks drove me crazy. The intensity subsided as time went on and you do get “somewhat” used to it. If I were you, I’d go ahead and see an ear doc just to get an idea of how severe the damage is.

I too am in the same boat as most of y’all. Too many loud concerts, too many cars with no mufflers, being a diesel mechanic, and too many loud car stereo systems(like my current car that has been tested at 137.6 decibels). My hearing has been checked and I’m right on the verge of needing hearing aids. I just keep some back ground noise going all the time so the ringing doesn’t get to me.
