Stupid Analogy. I actually thought It was stupid to mandate wearing hearing protection. I knew of more instances of colleagues being hit an injured by ground vehicles because they couldn't hear them. One of my colleagues even detected an unserviceable aircraft by hearing a pump that was running when it shouldn't have been. Nope, compulsory wearing of hearing protection - what a joke, and of course the only place in the world where that occurred - you guessed it - Australia- Nanny state extreme.
