I'm doing pretty good for my age (60) when it comes to hearing, especially considering I wasn't all that diligent about protecting it when I was on active duty and wore a pair of Sennheiser headphones for the better part of ten years in the broadcasting business. I'm surprised it's still as good as it is but, I haven't had my hearing tested in decades. I think it's still pretty decent although my wife might tell you it's very selective at times.
Lately, I've been wanting to upgrade the ear muffs I've been using for the past seven years to something that has an adjustable volume setting and that sit a little bit lighter on my noggin. Seeking suggestions/recommendations, war stories, what to stay away from, etc. What are you using?
I greatly appreciate the gift of good hearing and would like to preserve and protect it as best that I can. I'd hate not being freaked-out by things like screaming paper towel dispensers in Audi dealership bathrooms. That would suck. That noise was achieved by slate floors, marble countertops and an 18 ft. ceiling. I posted it on YT about a year and a half ago because it made me laugh and take a quick step back and say, holy crap! I watched it again yesterday and WTH, it has had almost 3k views. LOL I didn't even know that screaming paper towel dispensers were 'a thing' on YT.
