Cheap, but worth it?
I got some cheapee over the ear muffs from Home Depot (can't remember the brand) They are good enough at blocking noise. After about 15 minutes of wearing them, however, it's all I can do to keep from tearing them off. Uncomfortable to say the least.
Not sure what I'll do. Most of my "high noise" durations are relatively short, so I'll live with them for now.
