OK
I'm 59 years old. I have been playing with loud bands since I  was13 years 
old. OK back then we were using just 30 and 50 watt RMS tube amps.  Mostly Vox 
AC30s and AC50s. It was too loud THEN...  Our PA was just 50  watts, and that 
seemed very loud. 
 
In the 1970's I was in a band called the  T.F.L. Band
Too Flipping Loud... Or something like that...
I regret damaging my ears.
 
BUT I LOVED PLAYING THE MUSIC!
 
I hope and pray that I'll be able to continue play my  harmonica until the 
day that I die. Accoustic or electric.
