Have had a very similar experience to you. My day job involves studio audio work with intensive listening and I still find I sometimes need complete breaks from music at the weekend or evenings but thanks to 20 years of wearing professional earplugs ( and having those same reactions at gigs) I feel I have it under control.
Thanks for sharing on an impt topic esp for musos and hospo folk and exposusre to serious noise at live gigs but for ppl in hazardous jobs where its really hard to protect from serious noise pollution - takes courage to write about a personal health condition 🤙

Thanks for the great write up
Think there's quite a few of us in this boat out there huh. Glad you've been able to find a way to manage it. Have a great week!
