color:black'>I am a workplace safety professional with over 30 years of
experience. At present, I am a Workplace Safety Training Specialist with
the Texas Department of Insurance. One of the areas I have dealt with
over the years has been hearing conservation. My heart has been in this,
inasmuch as I have lost some hearing myself, and have had to take steps to
conserve my hearing in a variety of situations. Several of my plants had
hearing conservation programs in response to high noise levels.</span><span

color:black'>The musical world is no stranger to high decibel levels. As
a low brass player, I have often found myself seated in back rows of large
ensembles, right in front of drums of various descriptions. These days,
my ears often ring after a loud performance, and tinnitus is a frequent
companion, thankfully at low levels most of the time.</span><span
