Hearing protection when working with loud tools - what do you use?
Are these auto-muting ones good? They seem like a good idea, but how is it in practice?
My problem with hearing protection is that tool use is intermittent but I don't want to be deaf and oblivious the whole time. Nor constantly pull them on and off (or worse, in and out).

I have a pair of Sony WH1000-XM5 headphones and their noise cancelling is astounding.
I had never thought of using them as ear defenders but, now you mention it 😁

I have a Stihl helmet, with attached ear defenders. The ear defenders are very effective, and can be swivelled round to sit on the helmet, when their use isn't required.
