How many of you have tinnitus/hearing loss because of using headphones/loud music over the years? Did you do something about it? If you don't have those, how did/do you avoid getting them?

I think I have tinitus, to the point where it is extremely mild. Or maybe it’s just normal? It started in my early 20’s which coincided with a period of loud music and concerts over an extent period of time.

It’s a very low hiss that comes and goes now and then. I can only hear it when it’s relatively quiet around me, and it is easily masked by anything that I try to listen to.
