I gradually lost the ability to whistle in my 30s. I never whistled very loud, but now it’s almost nothing.

I lost that ability in my 30s thanks to Bell's Palsy. I mostly recovered, but the nerves on the right side didn't completely recover enough for me to seal my lips well enough to do it anymore. After I wasted $35 on a chanter, my wife and neighbors were relieved to find out that I won't ever be able to play the bagpipes, either.
