I've never even been around a running cnc machine. I guess carving chisels are quiet enough for 29! I switch to Sensguard sg-31 when it's too hot to wear earmuff style protection.
Where did I put those band aids?
I have a pair of these. They are active noise reduction earphones. In passive mode, 26 db reduction, in active mode, an additional 20 db for 46 db total. I can run table saw, cyclone, and air filter and barely hear them. Expensive at $159 but hearing is worth it. http://www.noisebuster.net/NoiseBust...y-Earmuff.html
I bought a logger's helmet with peltor earmuffs. It is great for mowing the lawn etc since it is a hat. I use it in the shop the face screen can not fog up. I think peltor makes them in Sweeden sold as sthil or Husqvarna
I see copies made in China I not trust their db ratings.

I need to replace the earmuffs and headgear on my Husvarna helmet. Anyone ever heard of Timber tuff helmets and era protection? no mention of db rating

Bruce, I started a similar thread awhile ago. I hoped there was some magical product out there for $150 that i didnt know about. I am still in search of that product.
I like over ear muffs, because my ear canals are too small or complex or something. Anytime i ever tried the foam inserts, they just fell out of my ear. I am intrigued by the moldable inserts. I might have to give those a shot.
