[QUOTE="scratch, post: 261884, member: 1674"] Hi Oxide, Welcome to the Brown Cafe, good thread topic. (I fixed your typo, I think you meant noise instead of nose!) I think that those conveyor belts and other Hub noises do damage your hearing. I worked eight years in a Hub before I became a driver. I have noticed that music sounds better to me if I increase the Treble setting on sound systems, especially like in my personal vehicle. I don't know what OSHA thinks, but it would be interesting to know about how many decibels we are exposed to at work. If you are a driver sitting behind a diesel engine, I wonder what long term exposure and breathing diesel fumes do to us too. Ear plugs in a Hub might be a good idea, as long as you can still hear certain things. [/QUOTE]
