Tinnitus Hidden Threat

Hello

There are many Hazards in aviation, but Tinnitus is generally Ignored, and many people suffer this insidious disease or symptom. Its deeply related with hyperacusis.
Noise cancelling headphones and ear plugs are necessary, and that bad practice of starting engines without wearing hearing protection, avoided.
Loss of license insurance dont cover tinnitus as a loss of licence cause, because they know the numbers.
