Thread for Noise Tech Talk

Yeah, I don't recommend it. Hope it didn't come across that way!

But, some people like to do it anyway. And given enough distance, it could be done safely.

My point was that, if you are exposed to loud noises, getting your hearing checked might be a good thing. I should have stated that more clearly.

It did not come across that way. Now that you mentioned “given enough distance” I could see that but that’s not where my brain was.

I am not advocating it, but I can imagine why someone would do it. For whatever reason, they don’t take hearing loss seriously and they don’t understand the risk. I say that as someone who thought it was an “okay thing to do very rarely” without being properly educated on the risks.

Even though I bitch at my guys at work about earpro. I still will walk by and throw earpro at them because someone will not have it on. It amazes me.

Is the "sound pressure level" the same as the A or Z measurement?
