I had the double whammy. My berthing space was near an arresting cable machine room and my work space was near a catapult. Like you say, you just get use to it..
Thanks for the comeback.
Until it is actually felt and heard, the noise associated with jet aircraft launches and recoveries is virtually undescribable.
But, somehow, someway, we got used to it and pressed on!
I have some high range hearing loss, but am REALLY surprised that I am not deaf.
People that sell hearing aids for a living are trying to convince me that I needem, but, so far, their marketing efforts have fallen on deaf ears!
LOL!
