My hearing loss came from three places....
USS Nimitz
USS John F. Kennedy
USS Dwight D. Eisenhower
aircraft, catapaults, and arresting gear
10 years on aircraft carriers..........
Oh, and the rock music may have had something to do with it.
Guilty as charged, m'lud... ;-)
USS Ticonderoga; As the jap planes approached, first the 40mm guns opened up and then the 20mm guns and the steam turbines and other machinery. We are all deaf now. Then our kids played that rock music.
Thank you for serving.
