I suffer from tinnitus, likely due to too much time in computer rooms with an IBM 1410, PDP-11s, Datacraft 6024, IBM 7094 II, IBM 360/65 MP, Amdahl 470, IBM 3084 and IBM 3090 machines and peripherals in their respective days. And then there is the time I currently spend on my collection. No hearing aid yet, but I can certainly tell that my hearing is not what it used to be, or even what it should be.
