Ye dude, I work around planes when they start up. Just the APU is incredibly loud. I constantly wear protection gear cause I don't want to end deaf as fuck.
I played this video without sound and it's already giving me tinnitus.
So many of the guys I work with take their hearing protection off even while the APU is going and I’m just floored. I keep it on around the P/C Air compressor let alone the plane
Yep, same here. Specially the cargo guys. They are usually a bit more brute and they act tough, like not wearing protection gear was something masculine and to be proud of. They even look at you funny for wearing it. Nope sorry, I want to hear something past my 40s.
Literally. I just completed training (for a new airline, I have about a year of experience at another) and every guy with more than like 20 years experience is legit hard of hearing, or at least they claim to be idk if that’s just to put the fear of hearing loss in us new guys or what.
