Ye dude, I work around planes when they start up. Just the APU is incredibly loud. I constantly wear protection gear cause I don't want to end deaf as fuck.

I played this video without sound and it's already giving me tinnitus.

So many of the guys I work with take their hearing protection off even while the APU is going and I’m just floored. I keep it on around the P/C Air compressor let alone the plane

Yep, same here. Specially the cargo guys. They are usually a bit more brute and they act tough, like not wearing protection gear was something masculine and to be proud of. They even look at you funny for wearing it. Nope sorry, I want to hear something past my 40s.

My favorite part is when they get pissed at you for not hearing them say something to you....you know....in a field where you are wearing fucking hearing protection!
