I'm 18, and as a kid I hated anything louder than a normal volume television or radio (ect.) and that continued until I was about 16 where I started to put more interest into music and audio equipment, but still I never blasted anything out of any of my equipment, it didn't appeal to me. now that I can process ideas better than I could as a kid, I'm pretty sure I have tinnitus somehow, I don't know what caused it but I definitely have a ringing sound (that I'm mostly accustomed to) and I can't hear CRTs anymore and they were one of the worst noises to me growing up. I can remember even in 8th or 9th grade walking away from an old school CRT while trying to set it up because the sound was unbearable. It really weird I think.
