[TenTec] CVS TDE headphones

[CATFISHTWO@aol.com]

This reminds me of an old friend, who didn't smoke, didn't drink,  always 
wore his seat belt, never exceeded the speed limit,  never ran an  extension cord 
where he could trip on it, and lived his whole life as if he were  a Safety 
Officer.
 
He was riding his ten speed  to the market  ( healthy exercise )  his front 
wheel hit a manhole cover , his bike crashed and he landed on his head  ( with 
bike helmet) and the helmet split and he died instantly. 
 
moral of this story, enjoy life and quit worrying about the little  stuff.  
My hearing is about 1/2 to 3/4  gone from working around jets  in the service 
and heavy equipment with the state. I am careful as I realize how  precious it 
is, ( my Dad lost his hearing entirely due to asthma and  infections) but this 
is silly over a head set we wear for a few hours   every few days,   just 
remember to set the level in the low end of the  loudness spectrum..
 
YMMV

don't  think it is only California judging from the responses on the  list.
I  think the FAA needs to be made aware of this hearing loss problem since   
98% of pilots wear headphones during  flights.

I have found that nothing can be said that does not eventually gets a   
negative response.
I know that reading this list can cause eyestrain,  that could lead to  
permanent eye damage, but I read it anyway.
Life  is just to short for this fellows.
We have gone from a good deal on  headphones to going deaf because somebody  
pointed out the good deal  and shared it with us.
We should be grateful for the information.
Next  thing I am waiting to hear, (no pun intended), is suing this poor guy   
for telling us where to get the great headphone deal that caused one of  us  
hearing damage.
Lets put away all our rigs because of all that  stray RF!
Why I know a guy that was exposed to high RF  and....
