Many people who have a noise induced hearing loss also suffer from tinnitus a ringing or roaring not audible to others. In conclusion, noise induced hearing loss is preventable. You can reduce your risk of loss by limiting your exposure to noise and correctly wearing your hearing protection. Double hearing protection on the flight line and other high noise areas is a must. The chain of command should be actively involved in hearing conservation for it to be effective, but, ultimately, you must take responsibility for yourself for the program to work for you.
Prevention is better than living with hearing loss.
