You mean that very loud thing that causes ear damage when it passes by?

That's just called a truck?

Hmmm, is that why so many Americans have hearing loss? 😮

Seriously, vehicles and machines are definitely a big part of why I do have hearing loss

On a serious note, it blows my mind how negligent almost everyone is to their hearing. Absolutely insane to allow permanent destruction of your hearing when extremely simple and cheap protection is available.

Even people who use PPE needed for specific tasks often neglect hearing protection.

I killed my hearing with a very expensive set of headphones.

I neglected my hearing as a child and have had tinnitus since I was about 12, ever since then I've done everything in my power to prevent it from getting worse.

I wish hearing protection was more talked about, to prevent more people from learning the hard way to protect their ears .
