    By definition, industrial noise (eg heavy machinery/motors/grinding/..) will produce a symmetrical hearing loss. Left ears get damaged far more quickly in right-shouldered shooters..

    You can't change genetics and time will ravage your hearing to an unknown extent but the one thing you have control over is noise exposure.
