I have a AA friend that I flew with at K4. He had flown the 9, MD80, 727, 737, 747 and 744. He said the 74 was the loudest airplane other than the 727 at higher mach's that he had ever flown.

One absolutely needs a good headset in this job for all kinds of reasons.

The sad thing is that most of our senior guys who need it the most, sit there with one ear cup of their $1000 Bose off their ear doing them no good at all.
You absolutely need to wear hearing protection on the 74. I wear ear plugs and use a Telex 850. Once you damage your hearing, you NEVER get it back!

I think that it is past time to label this the safety and health issue that it is. Locking interphone switches on the entire fleet, not just the -8. And everyone uses them.
