"G", I have the same high pitch loss, like crickets and small birds. Most everything else is not too bad. Tuning high pitch teletype signals as a radioman and screaming jets from flight decks didn't help. Constant ringing in the ears I've gotten used to so don't pay it much attention. Can still hear a car drive up the driveway on the gravel and foot steps in the woods so I will stay aid free for the time being. Most of my friends have aids and I hear all their complaints. Not looking forward to dealing with them in the future. Worst problem I have is when the wife tells me about some woman's boots and I misunderstand, thinking she said boobs. I look at her kinda funny when that happens.
