[TenTec] CVS TDE headphones

[Mike Brown]

 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.
