[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 55621, member: 8947"] Believe it or not, some of those silly orange plugs reduce noise levels 'higher' then an ear muff. I use the ones rated at 33dB. Best muff is rated at 31dB. A pretty sig. difference. So why use ear muffs? Because sound is transmitted through your skull as well as down you ear canal. The ear muff insulates the noise through the area around your ear. Using both does not mean a 64dB level reduction. But it is significant. Also, the noise level that was stopped by the ear plugs was in the upper range of intensity. That is why it didn't sound that loud. However, still a good idea to use both if you can. Jerry [/QUOTE]
