Just Turned 50...

Just turned 54 myself. I've always had sensitive hearing: can hear trains in the distance long before anyone else can. I can hear the squirrels jaw chomping on acorns at the top of a 60 foot oak. Although I am sure if I had a hearing test 10 years ago and compared to one taken today, there would probably be some clinical decline. But I notice none and my hearing seems as good as it's ever been.

I'll be turning 50 as well in March. My eyes aren't what they used to be but I think my hearing is still pretty good. The only way to enjoy these golden days is by embracing it. Happy Birthday

ar 70, i decided to have my hearing tested. i was told i had "good" hearing by an audiologist. unfortunately, the highest frequency presented was 8000 hz, so i don't have a clue as to hearing beyond 20,000 hz.

Well I will be 59 next month and I still dont know if I crapped my pants...

I'm 61 and hearing fine and still get excited to hear subtle improvements in sound but probably less tolerant of noise. Don't worry about aging - it has its advantages. My Dad when he was ninety still could be moved to tears by a beautiful violin playing and he would say, these 74 years are just pups, they really don't know anything yet! so much of the best is yet to come.
