I am 43 and have noticed some loss. Not officially checked but say WHAT to my fiancee occasionally.
Some of this I credit to my stupid youth. Straight pipe on a LA case, glass packs on my daily driver pickup that sort of thing.
One thing I did a number of years back was we traded up on combines which helped some. Old one the front of the grain tank was the back of the cab.
And yes anytime I am working a open station piece of equipment for much time I wear earmuffs. Got mine at a local place called Agrisafe. They are subsidised by the guvment and have pretty reasonably priced stuff. Last set of muffs I bought was off ebay and they have speakers in them so I can listen to the radio while working.
Chain saws were mentioned in the OP. Here I wear one of those hard hats with muffs and a face sheild. It has saved me a few headaches. Had a friend tell me about him getting cut on the leg cutting firewood. That was all it took to get me to drop the coin for a set of chaps.

After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
