Re: Is it mandatory to wear ear plugs by FRA or Carrier?

I have permanent ringing in both ears, and a significant loss of hearing in my left ear from enduring the six-chime steam whistle of old #19 for almost 20 years, even though I wore ear plugs! The wistle was located just about 10 feet from the open front cab door on the firemans' side. So loud it would vibrate my body! That's why when I got my engineers' tag, I kept my whistles short to help protect my firemans' ears ... and comfort. :)
