Keep in mind than I'm specifically talking about a low noise leaf
blower for a short period. The specs says it is only 65dB, compared
to 60dB for normal conversation. Nothing like the screamer that my
neighbor's landscaper uses, where I've put on the earmuffs in my
house. <br>

When using a router or angle grinder, I often use both foam ear
plugs plus earmuffs.<br>

I normally put in ear plugs, but for a quick use, you can
get away without them. </div>

Just no. Ear muffs are cheap enough that you can keep a
