I was experiencing tinitis (ringing in the ears) last year and saw an audiologist. She found some minor hearing loss in one ear likely due to:

-Trips to gun range
-Lawn Equipment
-Whistles

...severity in that order, according to her. I wear hearing protection for the first two, yet still have some minor loss. I find the horn/buzzer more irritating than the whistles at games.
