Sadly I feel I am about to make a large donation to the nice people who provide hearing aids, I suffer tinitus and years of workplace noise are now causing me issues.
Even though I have always worn highest grade of earlugs (I believe 33db) I think they are not 100% effective when you are working 8-10 hours at a stretch in noisy places.
Even now I stare in wonder at the number of painters chipping paint of ships hulls using needle rattle guns and no earing protection at all!!
Buy the best protection you can even it its expensive, tinitus is not nice and having to ask your better 1/2 to constantly repeat herself causes issues or worse when you don't hear her at all because she is not directly facing you!!!
