Hi all,
I work as a dispatcher at a large airport and while a lot of time is spent in the office / terminal, I also spend a fair bit of time on the ramp for certain flights. We're all issued with Peltor ear defenders (as pictured below), however, they aren't practical for the type of work I do and subsequently neither myself or any of my colleagues carry them around with us (as stupid as that may sound
)
I've been looking around the net for some smaller 'ear plug' type ear defenders that are more practical for the job I do. However, I have had trouble finding out whether these would actually offer any protection or not.
Does anyone know roughly how many db I would be subjected to standing roughly 20meters from a modern aircraft (sat 737) arriving on stand?
Thanks
