Thanks Radeng
Is the letter from the CAA saying OK to MP3 players or hearing aids?
I agree that one shouldn't wait for the accident before discovering a problem I suppose I was trying to get some informed discussion going. I am amazed how each airline differs in the way they make the announcments.
I always pay attention to cabin crew briefings - always turn off any electronic devices before I even go anywhere near an aircraft and follow instuctions.
I am just wondering where this will stop - like you say hearing aids. I have read all of the rports produced by Oz ATSB (BASI)/CAA - UK CAA - US FAA on the test that have been done. It always seems that there is no definitive answer.
Be that as it may - I will continue to follow instructions and value the good job that the cabin crew do in 'herding' us SLF on and off and looking after us in flight.
Cheers
