  • Yep. Agreed on all aspects of your post.

    I started too late (undergrad) wearing earplugs all the time at shows/other loud things. I don’t think I have much hearing loss (thankfully) but I do get the buzzing every so often (I know it could be worse, and am grateful it isn’t).

    Hearing protection is not something to take lightly (I know you know, but just to reiterate for others reading).

    Ffs, don’t get me started on knees haha.


  • While I don’t think you should base your decisions on opinions from random people on the Internet, I also don’t think you should blindly follow your doctor.

    I’ve seen many older doctors not keep up with more current treatments, or refuse to prescribe some things because their new/they don’t know about them.

    I’ve also seen far too many people get into med school, who I wouldn’t trust to put a bandaid on.

    That being said, your doctor should know what’s best for you (as others have mentioned). But there’s no problem with getting a second opinion/doing some research (legitimate research, not just stuff to prove your opinion).

    Tl;Dr: probably trust your doctor, but be open to other (valid) opinions.
