damn it i cant hear some of those noises anymore. i used to be able to tell if the tv was on or not while it was on mute i guess with age but more importantly it was harder to hear clearly the end high pitched noise. did some damage at a rave once i was too close to a speaker for too long and its forever affected me :( still good hearing but nothing what it used to be and that constant ringing is louder than old soft sounds you used to be able to hear :(
