I believe damage to hearing is a cummulative thing. I have always found the ear plugs that go into my ear to be uncomfortable and haven’t tried ear muff types. I got “ZEM hearing protection from the Woodcraft store. The protectors are comfortable to wear, can be hung around my neck when not in use and seems to cut down considerable on the noise.

However, wearing ear muff protection in a cold workshop a good idea.

Whatever device you get, the important thing is to protect your hearing.
