S-92 Noise Levels
Good Day Everyone;
I've been flying the S-92 for about 1300 hours. The first 800 was using a Bose Aviation X headset. Besides going through about twice as many batteries as it did in an S-61 or AS-332, it worked fine.
Last summer I started wearing a Gallet LH-250 with CEP. Since then I notice the noise level is quite a bit higher, especially in the low frequency range generated by the rotor system. (It is quite a bit louder in the right seat than the left seat too.)
High noise levels in the S-92 is common knowledge and I'm wondering what other S-92 pilots are wearing for sound protection and how it is working out for you. Helmet, headset, ANR, CEP, combinations....
Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
