One of the real lucky ones I guess.You wouldnt believe the amount of noise that I have been exposed to in the past 50 years.I'm in my early 60's and still pass the company hearing test with flying colors.We are 1 decibel over the limit at work so recently had to start wearing ear plugs.Several of us now have problems with excessive ear wax and my ears have a rash now.One girl has been to the doctor 4 times because of the ear plugs and head phones.
Many I know that are half my age have hearing loss and havent been exposed to a fraction of the noise that I have.They have never been around 2 cycle Detroits,dont go to tractor pulls,and havent farmed for 50 years with straight pipes.I should be stone deaf and cant explain it.
I work with 2 guys that are totally deaf in one ear.Neither wears a hearing aid and its hard to get their attention sometimes.Most people deffinitely need to wear hearing protection.

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.
