It's hopeless absolutely hopeless........ Best Ear Defenders for Wearing with Glasses - Ear Defender
It depends. Before or after use?
Yabut, don't you need to be Vulcan to do that? I have no point on the top of my ears. :confused3:
In these irrational times, we would all do good to be more spock like.
Interested to hear which ones you were comparing. I use some sort of hearing protection every day (I run chain saws and chippers for a living) and the plugs and muffs that I have experience with have all been within a 24-33 dBa rating, with plugs generally being somewhat higher.Interestingly, most of the silicone or other foam ear inserts I looked at weren't anywhere close in noise reduction capabilities (according to the NRR or whatever it was rating) compared to the top shelf ear muffs.
I'm curious what you have for ear muffs, as most of what I've found have less noise reduction than ear plugs. When running chainsaw for any length of time I use both plugs and muffs, otherwise I will hear the darned thing echoing in my head all night.
You say that you will hate them in the heat and I agree. Yet you also would hate asking "what?" every time somebody speaks to you... and don't ask me how I know that.
I wear Honeywell ear protection with built in speakers which are big enough that they cover the arms of my safety glasses that go over my ears.
