When's the last time you had your hearing checked? If you never have, get a baseline ... because noise exposure DOES lead to hearing loss!Originally Posted by DebW

Today is one of those days where I hate my job. Love my work, but hate my job.
Tired of working on humans. Wanna work on bikes instead. Exploding tires and all.
(of course, I know jack-diddly about bikes, but that can be overcome)

Thanks Mimi. I probably never have had my hearing checked. So how old will I be when I start going deaf? Originally Posted by mimitabby

without noise induced hearing loss, women don't generally lose much hearing, but most men do in their late 70's or in their 80's. I said generally; lots of women lose hearing... Originally Posted by DebW

You know you are in trouble when a noise exposure makes your ears ring. the longer they ring, the worse it was...

At last - a musical reference I can relate to. People have been trying to explain cadence to me using all these songs by popular beat combos I've never heard of. Originally Posted by mimitabby

Exploding tires did not generally make my ears ring. Maybe when I was the one holding the compressor hose but I don't really remember. That would cut the number down to only 100-125. Originally Posted by mimitabby
