This is precisely why the hazards are so insidious: you're chugging along fine for years, and boom: you have a weird cancer.
I'm mindful of my finishing materials and proper ventilation and downright religious about hearing protection because the damage is cumulative. I know a bunch of guys I have to half shout at to have a conversation with. I'd rather not be one in 15 years.
- Doxin 3y agoI don't get why anyone would be opposed to wearing ear protection anyways. Loud noises are unpleasant and ear protection is an easy fix. Though on the other hand perhaps I take it too far by wearing ear protection when hammering in nails or using the vacuum cleaner.
- Freak_NL 3y agoI'll gladly reach for my ear protection even if using a hacksaw is making too much noise. I think my cordless drill, impact driver, and table drill are the only powered tools I use without ear protection (mostly).
