[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 2640957, member: 14204"] I agree; unfortunately, for most, they only protect their hearing while shooting. [ATTACH type="full"]402157[/ATTACH] I spent 10 years in flightline (aircraft generation of F-4s and A-10s). At the time, I used both foamies and a headset. Some of my co-workers only used one of the two, and some did not. Most of them lose hearings. I was one of those people that were lucky enough not to have any hearing loss because I protected myself. During aircraft generation, esp during a surge or with multiple aircraft on joint exercise, the noise level is >140 dBs for 10-14 hour days. My hearing improved when I transitioned from F-4s to A-10 and back to normal when I got off the flighline in 1996 (cross-trained to another career field). I still use hearing protection and other PPE when operating household machinery/tools like lawn mowers, snow blowers, leaf blowers, portable grinders/drill presses/impact wrenches, etc. Take care of yourselves.
