timethief29 asked:


I have limited hearing in my right ear, and Im worried that since I now play music and TV at higher volumes to hear it like normal that my left isnt too far behind. I can still hear normal conversations, but I need to pay attention to hear some whispers. I also have fluid constantly leaking out of my ear. Its been going on for years but everyone tells me its nothing and Im worried. Is there anything medically wrong with me? is it permanent? Is there any treatments out there that would help me regain some hearing and not need a hearing aid if it gets worse?

Electrician and trade jobs and hearing loss?

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?
