How to Choose a Suitable and Good Aviation Headset?

1. Why Do We Need an Aviation Headset?

A suitable and good aviation headset is one of the most important things for a pilot needs in the cockpit.

As pilots who are accustomed to cockpit noise, depending on the type of aircraft we fly, we may not even think the noise is all that loud.

However, The FAA Hearing and Noise in Aviation safety brochure reminds us that sound levels in a small single engine cockpit can reach 90 dB, and sustained exposure to noise over 90 dB can cause permanent hearing loss.

This means it's time to reach for hearing protection in the form of a pilot headset.

The Aviation Headset provides more than just hearing protection and decreased cabin noise though. They also offer hands-free communications with ATC and passengers, making it even more appealing to fly with a headset.
