Am I hearing things (you don't) ????


About 5 years ago I started to notice a ringing in my ears. This is not a debilitating condition and I have learned
to tune it out. More disturbing however is an inability to tolerate high frequency "Noise". An example would be
the sound of plates clanging against each other as you remove them from the dishwasher. This type of sound
feels somewhat painful. At the RMAF last month after day one I found I could no longer listen to anything and enjoy it
as my ears felt fatigued. ( stayed too long at Raidho). I had a pair of ear plugs but failed to employ them at all times. Normally I listen at an average of 70 db. per my free phone app readings. 
I seem to notice during quiet moments a very low frequency off and on rumble sound. I thought it might be a piece of equipment in the home so I shut everything down, walked outside around all sides of the home thinking it might be emanating from a neighbor. No go. Its in my head. 
At age 60+ I have probably been subjected to my share of excessive noise but have never been an artillery man or Navy Gunner for example. 

Anyone else have similar experiences?

 Geeze..who is making posts that have to be removed, in a thread on this subject???
Sometimes folks remove their own post. It may be the person felt too exposed by what they wrote. Sometimes, even months later, hearing loss mentioned is thrown into the person face in  other audio 'discussions'. I have seen it too often. Anyone can delete their own post in the time it can be modified.
I removed my own post. I need to use the preview before posting it was a little to personal. I'm having a hard time dealing with this issue. Sorry. 
It is had for any audiophile to come to terms with any sort of hearing problem. Partly a guy thing of never letting down your guard, (If you do, macho type guys will 'punish you for being 'weak'.) plus here it is wide open public display. Not just a few friends.    Facing the fact most of us are getting old. Some hearing loss is gonna happen.
