Listen to music, audiobooks and/or podcasts. Hard labour is hard. Distract yourself.
Yep, can recommend Prohear Bluetooth ear defenders. Peltor make them too, but pricey
I'm a fan of just using my earbuds inside a good pair of ear muffs; better noise reduction that way, and sometimes you want the muffs off but can still listen to whatever.
IME what works best is sound deadening foam ear plugs, with an over ear headphone with the volume turned up. You know, big ones with passive noise cancelling.
Cheap and if anything seems to work better than bluetooth ear defenders. (for me).
Hard to put a price on hearing. That shit never comes back.
That's precisely why the Peltor ones are more expensive. They actually sound worse and the protection is no better. Needless to say, no surprises which country Peltor is from 🙄
Well I'd suggest some different ear protection, ringing ears sucks. And does not stop
