I'll be deaf by the time I'm 30

So I spend probably 99% of my life playing or listening to music. That includes while I'm sleeping. The only time I ever really don't listen to music is in PE, and it's an incredibly boring and hate-filled hour and a half. In class, I will sit there and listen to my teacher, with an earbud in my left ear. I've trained myself to function normally while also listening to music constantly on full blast. May I also add, I listen pretty exclusively to a vast array of death metal, black metal, punk, and grunge.

What I look like in class:

 What I'm actually like:
 I realize it's a very real possibility that I'll be completely deaf by the time I get my first gray hair. The level of volume plus the genres of music I listen to can almost assure this. However, this will not stop me. I'll be like Beethoven. I'll be deaf as a corpse, but I'll be writing music like a motherfucking boss because I can feel vibrations from my instruments. It'll still be really depressing, because then I'm not sure if I could sing anymore. 

Will that stop be from listening to music 24/7 on full volume? 

Hell no. 

Just realize that if I speak to you, in my ears, I can still hear you. It just so happens that your voice will be mixing with those of Shaun Morgan and Infernus and Trey Azagthoth and all those motherfuckers. I'll still be paying attention to you, so don't worry.

Unless you're reading this 30 years from now....then you might have to tap me on the shoulder and use sign language.
