Greetings to Alldeaf, I am glad I found you.
I have been in denial for some time. For years I worked in carpet fiber extrusion plant as purchasing manager. Most time in an out of my office or a quick check of inventory resulted in me being in a very loud production area. When they has a safety guy, he did a sound test and it tested 126db as 160 psi air was being released through a very tiny hole to tangle the yarn. I never realized how many times I was in that noise and got stopped and talked to without my hearing protection. The company closed in late 2009 and was forced to find other work.
The main thing I hear is a loud high pitched sound as if I were at work.
I have been able to find work as inside sales, but it requires mainly talking on the phone. Yesterday I had a meeting with supervision that told me they were getting complaints from co-workers and customers that I am not listening. I am heartbroken since I know why I am missing things but I didn't know it was affecting my job.
What do I do now?
Thanks
