Deafness in ex grondcrew
Just been to see my Professor of ENT after an audio test at the local clinic. It appears that my hearing is stable, but still a mystery why i am deaf. I realized that years of ride on mowing probably has something to do with it, even though i have always worn ear defenders. They are variable in quality, and i have just replaced original set with a 38db attenuation (about as good as they get), same my original, but the ear seal has broken. I have found if i wear foam ear plugs and ear defenders the mowing is significantly quieter, as i want keep what i have left.
To all the young fellas, look after it, cos you will miss it when its gone.
Thanks to all for feedback.
