Some jeans

1 She put on her old ,green T-shirt and some jeans.
2 I likely have lost some hearing from going to too many loud concerts as I have.
What's the meaning of "some jeans"? How can a person wear a lot of jeans at one time?
what's the meaning of "as I have" in the second sentence ?
  

Top answer

2 - It should be as many loud concerts as I have , using a natural comparative phrase, similar to I have as many apples as you have. 1 - Jeans is used in the plural: compare slacks, pants, eyeglasses, scissors, shorts. These can also be preceded by "a pair of".

No. "Hearing" is not a countable noun. We don't have "15 hearings" and if you go partially deaf, you have only 13 left.

Hearing = ability to hear.
"Some hearin

Thanks , I thought you misunderstood me .
I wondered which function does " as I have" serve and why some can modify jeans here ,namely ,how can a person wear several jeans at one time ?

Philip explained it here. They don't wear multiple garments. We refer to jeans in the plural.

Just pack a couple t-shirts and some jeans.
