I pocket these whenever they're available for free in places where I work. Recently downloaded a free app that measures decibels and was amazed.

Hearing loss is different from other things they warn you about. Get something in my eye? Guess I'll start wearing eye protection. Back hurts? Guess I'll start lifting with my knees. Hearing loss is different. You won't lose your hearing, you'll lose the ability to understand what people are saying in a noisy environment, it hurts you socially. Having to say "huh?" repeatedly is embarrassing, it makes you withdraw.
