Thank you for this informative post. My husband Joe has significant hearing loss due to the fact that he worked as an auto technician for 45 years. Hearing protection was not considered an issue for most of those years. He now wears hearing aids in both ears. While they help to some degree his hearing is far from perfect. Even hearing the siren on an emergency vehicle can be problematic. Unfortunately, health insurance does not cover hearing aids in spite of the fact that hearing loss is quite debilitating and hearing aids are VERY expensive! That is an area that needs to be corrected.
Again, thank you for your post, maybe you have saved someone's hearing because of it. Keep up the good work.
I up voted you and followed you.
