My ears have been through hell over the 35+ years of playing in bands and recording. I do wish that I would have worn ear protection.
Though as a young kid I was supposed to have some type of 'tubes' placed in my ear canals. Whatever that means. For some reason my momma declined the surgery. I never asked why...
I do notice I have less ability to hear high end frequencies in one of my ears. That may be the one that took a hit when playing bottle rocket wars in the park when I was 11. Those were the days... 
I have always had an aversion to wearing earplugs. I cannot use earbuds and in fact can't stand wearing headphones or anything over my ears. Even wearing a hoodie makes me uncomfortable. It is amazing I am able to even mix anything. Hmm.. Maybe I am in the wrong business? LOL
