FWIW I started my career as a noise and vibration engineer and was an early user of computers in engineering, I wrote a programme to optimise racing car suspension geometry in 1971, which eventually led to a full time career in motor racing. 35 years in all. Before the motor racing I worked for Garrard on record players.
Astonishingly my hearing was not destroyed. It is better than average for my age, it must be genetic. My grandmother still had acute hearing at 100 years old. My wife who is a musician is going deaf.
Not fair really.
In my very early DJ'ing days we had an old Citronic "Disco Console", which featured slightly bouncy Garrad turntables. (which ended up being crudely modified, with the auto functions removed, lead weights to allow Ortofon Pro cartridges to be used etc.) As I recall, they actually sounded pretty good by the standards of the day. - Perhaps some of your early work Frank?
