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.
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.
A California organization sent me a website you might like to explore. The
hearing you save may be your own!
Sincerely yours,
Dave Stoddard
