Please make them stop. Why are they still legal? My neighbor has been using a mower, weed eater, and leaf blower for 5.5 hours. Nobody else ever notices the noise but my auditory sensitivities make me want to claw my skin off.

    Highly recommend concert earplugs for when it gets real bad, they drop about 20dB off the sound and cut out those high pitches that scrape at your brain

      I have loops on my key chain. It switches between three settings but I can never tell the difference. I want to buy more for sure, but they are pricey.

      I have some to play specifically with my band that kills 20db. The stick out of the ears though, so I just use the loops.

        Are they an Active Noise Cancelling type?

        I’ve been using the old school silicone guys with a little plastic widget that lets in a small amount of sound, unfortunately can’t use the powered type because of explosive atmosphere safety laws (smh why won’t these companies let me die /j )
