My hearing has declined over the years, to the point where audiophile gear is a complete waste of money. For example, I can no longer hear the difference between a cassette tape and an LP. I still listen to and enjoy music all day, but no longer worry at all about the sonic quality of it.

My advice to you younger guys is to keep the windows rolled up while driving. I have no other explanation why my left ear is much worse than my right.
