Good point Bob! I worked at an auto assembley plant (one of the big three)
that used to let us use walkmans. Low and behold, after a few months, they were
getting a noticeable rise in hearing loss work comp complaints. Shortly there
after, that privledge was gone. We could still have radios at a reasonable
volume. We don't want our hams in the "Pete Townsend" category. As far as I
know, there is no cure for hearing loss.
