[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1449326, member: 14204"] Just posting for what it is worth but here it goes ... Hearing protection seems to be centered around shooting/hunting but hardly addressed any other times. I am one of those people that always use PPEs. I use gloves, hearing protection, safety goggles, shoes, when I mow and use any high noise power tools, cutting firewood, etc. I spent 10 years in the flightline working F-4s and A-10s working 10-12 hours and constantly exposed in high dBs. Back then, all we have are foamies + a regular blue earmuffs. Because I need to be able to communicate with the aircrew, I use a COMM set instead. Luckily, we are tested for hearing loss every year. I kept mine to a minimum. In fact,when I transitioned from F-4 to A-10, my hearing got better. When I left the flightline, my hearing significantly improved because I was no longer exposed to continuous high extreme high dB noise levels. My point is, we are exposed to other high dB noise levels yet we do not take the proper protection. Just something to ponder ...

I understand that it is not for everybody and not legal in most states, adds weight, pricey, and a long waiting period but offers a nice compromise and worth the consideration.
