The point is the 777 is not that loud in flight. Either wear ear plugs, or use something where you can hear the other pilot.
I can only imagine. We have to wear a headset below 18– So you’re talking about the countless hours at cruise at 80+ decibels. And you’re upset that someone wants to protect their hearing and you don’t make efforts as the PIC to accommodate their efforts to preserve their hearing. (But your OK with earplugs which block all frequencies by 30 decibels but just not a ANR headset which reduces the most harmful frequencies.)
