My view of Mt Hood last time I flew in to PDX

High Above Texas    says:

And sitting there in the back, you are exposed to really high-pitch sounds you don't even detect from the fan-jet engines. The sound is so powerful, yet impossible to detect, it can wreck your hearing and lead to tinnitus. Although don't be too alarmed, it takes hours and hours of exposure.

My dad wrecked his hearing flying small corporate jets, especially loud was the Sabreliner Jet...

Greg, next time you fly in the back, do what I do and wear a set of foam ear plugs. I never fly without them.
