If I wear a headset will I be known as a "headsetter" in the same way long sleeve people are known as "long sleeves"? I want to be able to hear in old age but I want to fit in more.
If you use the ships set, unplug it after use and stow it away. Other than that, headsets and boom mics have to be used from the start of the "Before Start" checklist to FL180, and from FL180 to the end of the "Shutdown" checklist.
If you are worried about your hearing, these work when you aren't wearing a headset.
