This happened to me when I was 49.I'm sorry to hear that -- thats about when my father started noticing nerve deafness and it has progressively gotten worse. But he plugs on. I have faint amounts and am not looking forward to that if it is genetic.
My mother has similar but less tinnitus.
Neither can hear the high frequency noises which drive me nuts like house crickets and the like. But then I guess I've been lucky to have started out with probable greater than normal hearing and sight as a kid.
