i just ran across this thread. i work in a high noise environment. i work on semi trucks, in a large shop. those 2500 pound engines make some noise, air tools. i actually get messed with because i am wearing earplugs when i ride a motorcycle, using air tools or working around a lot of noise. between loud music ( i'm an old school rocker) and drag racing, and now work, i have ringing in my ears, and its made me very conscious about loud noises.
it still amazes me how people can look down on others for simply trying to prevent perm. hearing loss.
