AW189 Helicopter Noise Linked to Hearing Issues in Nearly 300 Offshore Workers

A survey by Norwegian union Forbundet Styrke reports that 42% of ~700 offshore workers flying on AW189 helicopters report hearing issues, affecting nearly 300 people. Equinor, the operator, says it was not involved in the investigation and is unaware of the conditions. The claim is based on a union survey and has not been independently verified.
