I wear hearing aids for the very reasons discussed above. They are pain, plus you have to pay for them. $4000 will buy you a very nice table saw. Wear hearing protection.

They appear as a little box with a X in it and the name of the picture. When I click on it, I get a message the states “The requested image can not be loaded, try again latter”. What is going on? Jerry

But something almost always not mentioned is that breaking the seal on muffs reduces their effectiveness. Those glasses we wear wear to protect our eyes (or just to be able to see) break that seal where the arms pass under the muff. This will gived at least a 5db reduction in the fasting of the muff.

I started wearing it later & keep some in my pockets at all times. whether it’s a mower, loud vac, circular saw, etc–preventing damage is so much easier than saying “huh?” “huh?” “huh?”

Explaining once again why OSHA exists.

You can wear earplugs and muffs. It may be overkill sometimes, but it doubles your protection. And depending on your taste in music, an mp3 player may be more dangerous than that screaming router.
