Come on! of course it happens...

I am 58 (almost) and I quit - heavy - tuning about 15 years ago.  
Nevertheless, after a lifetime of it noise, my ears are warning me  
because they give me a heavy buzz when I strike too hard, or there is  
a continual hissing sound at the end of the day.
It does not really bother me, but I know....

OK?
