As a wearer of hearing aids since 1966, I can tell you it works a lot 
better to save the hearing you  have!  I had pretty bad hearing until I 
worked 6 years with wind tunnels, usually at supersonic or hypersonic 
speeds, then I lost most of my remaining high freq hearing from that.  
Then I worked almost 30 years around jet transport aircraft, not the 
quietest work environment either.  That's why I like aquatic plants so 
much - they are just naturally quiet.  Or else I just can't hear them.
