This is an great topic! I have a senior-age friend who wears two hearing aids and ascribes at least some of his hearing loss to having played too many years in a large tuba-euphonium ensemble. But as there are so many opportunities in a long life to have been exposed to high decibel levels, it's hard to say.

It would be interesting to take an informal poll of tuba players over 60 and see how many have a substantial hearing loss.
