I suffer. Not enough to deny me my medical but it's always there. A high-pitched noise similar to when the tV stations used to go off the air. (Old gits will know that sound!).

At Bond in the mid-eighties the headsets were kept in the 332s. Doing rotor-running crew changes we would have to approach/leave the aircraft bare-headed! A lot of damage done then.
