Electrician and trade jobs and hearing loss?
PaulN asked:
I’m thinking about becoming an electrician and going to a 1 year program for an E-2 and some other certificate. But since I play music and listen to it a whole lot, I really value my hearing. I’ve heard being an electrician can be a pretty serious threat to that. I guess they use jack hammers (according to my friend). I know of course you can wear earplugs but taking them in and out all the time would be a hassle. Are there any trades I might be interested in that are a bit less risky as far as hearing loss goes?
