[AT] Noise Concerns

[charlie hill]

Thanks Chuck,  I'll try the lipo flavonoids if I can figure out what to buy.

I've been around all manner of harmful noise from high powered
rock and roll amplifiers to big diesel powered air compressors running
sand blasting pots and I'm sure they all did some damage.  I've used
hearing protection on the job for many years but somehow forget to
use it at home and yes I still have one of those 70's vintage McCullough's.
It's the best chain saw I own but it sure makes a lot of noise!

However, the thing that really kicked my butt in terms of ringing and as 
others
mentioned just feeling beat was running that turbocharged JD.  I'm not 
blaming it
on being a JD.  That just happened to be the brand I was running.

Cecil and Charlie,

Have had the high pitched ringing, called tinnitus, for about 25 yrs. 
Luckily, in my mid teens, wrassling with a McCollough chain saw - with a 
poor joke for a muffler - got me into the earplug habit some (if not while 
on tractors), and the Air Force flight line strengthened this later.
Otherwise, my hearing would never have survived the motorcyle shop years. 
Even now, I would NEVER go country dancing or a band concert without them.

Mine bride got me into taking a supplement called Lipo Flavanoid Plus and it 
seems to help. She had been using lipoflavanoids for her ringing for about 
10 years and had good luck with it.  If it is going to work for you, you 
should probably be able to tell the difference within
within a few days. What's really weird is that every once in a long while, 
my ringing completely disappears for a short time before returning. Darn, 
this minor ail seems a reminder for me to return to the splendid centuries 
old prayer for geezers:
