From John Hopkins University of Hearing and Public Health:

"We estimate that 14.3% of Americans aged 12 and over have a hearing loss in both ears. That corresponds to about 38.2 million people over the age of 12 in the United States today. We also explored how common hearing loss is at different ages and found that the percentage of people with hearing loss approximately doubles with every decade of life. As such, hearing loss is much more common among older adults and 91% of adults with hearing loss are aged 50 and older."

Never stack your cabs or have any kind of speaker at ear level. Stand off to the side of your cabs. My hearing is fine and I’m not exactly a quiet player or listener of music but anyone standing in front of ear level speaker cabs is asking for it.
