Scott Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 I wasn't aware that air travel was injurious to your hearing. Can anybody explain the decibel level inside an airplane and the amount of exposure necessary to damage your hearing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A_Traveller Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) It's a pressure issue, some are susceptible to the changes of pressure more than others. I find if I'm on and off planes in quick succession over a few days I can get a short term problem with mine. Not that uncommon.

Carmine6 Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 not noise , pressure differential and the inner ear .................................... Mine are completely ruined from that. Years of flying on Soviet & Chineseairliners with screwed up cabin pressure.... Is it the pressure differential or how rapidly it happens? Basically, would those ear plugs that slowly let the air pressure adjust help minimize the damage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years of flying on Soviet & Chineseairliners with screwed up cabin pressure.... Is it the pressure differential or how rapidly it happens? Basically, would those ear plugs that slowly let the air pressure adjust help minimize the damage? Yes, it's both things. I've flown in some very dicey aircraft where the pressurization was badly controlled. If you add to that having a cold and having stuffed nasal passages, you can get tremendous inner ear damage and pain. Everyone should be careful about flying with a cold. Yes, those special pressure control ear plugs do help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Mouse Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 This is an obvious scam for a workers compensation claim. It's probably the only thing that a Prime Minister could use to get a few sickies on full pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
