After about my second day of running a TS14, i bought a pair of earmuffs and never ran one without them. Same with running a dozer

I lost a good part of my hearing to a 4-71 in a Euclid S-7 elevator scraper. Sitting only 3 feet from a barely-muffled exhaust, and the military declined to issue ear muffs in those "good ol' days".

They pay me for the hearing loss now, but it would've been cheaper to give me ear muffs.

As a kid & into my 30s I barely thought of hearing damage. I did buy in my teens a pair of LEE Sonic Ear Valves, supposed to block loud noise while allowing less dangerous sounds. I used them a while, until I lost one.
I went on using chain saws, shooting, motorcycles, grinders, tractors, snowmobiles, power saws, & loud music.
My family accuse me of being deaf, though I pass my CDL physical.

These days I ALWAYS have a pair of ear plugs in my pocket.

I was using ear plugs, but still lost some hearing.

All the old-school scraper drivers I knew were deaf in the right ear, so if you wanted to have a conversation with them in the pub you had to make sure you sat on his left…!!!

Ear Plugs and Muffs only work to 120-125dB, above that the sound travels thru the bones of the Skull and Jaw, does little to any good as to Hearing Damage.

Do these sonic vibrations in the head cause eyesight and memory loss too. Just asking for a friend.

After 32 years of driving school bus and 15 years on trucks cats etc. I am suffering big time loss for sure.

With all the crawlers around here operated in dryland wheat---these were not operated at slower
speeds as in construction-oh no these were running at higher speeds hour after hour or until the
seed drill needed a refill. The high pitch squeaking/clattering was endless during spring and fall
work.
* The term High Performance goes along with items like Dual Carbs, Dual Exhaust Or Twice Pipes,
Dual Point Ignition. Most are gone now but it was easy to spot a Old John Barley Corn around here
because he was High Performance----He had dual hearing aids.

One of the biggest reasons a rubber band machine became a quick sell.

Do not know, was the audiologist that explained to me

My area, in some ways the video doesn't depict just how steep it really is. It's interesting
riding along in a bine.

Oh boy I just keep finding this two stroke crud--FB listed as 1948 Case-$1,500 better snap this one
up fellers--it's just what's needed to help with hearing loss, you would be talk of the hood with gps
installed, king of the weed patch.

I love it! What a beast! Here's what we do with our local GM Diesel-powered Chamberlain tractors, we soup them up!

Not much soup around here, mainly chili.
