If you are mowing your lawn, you need to make sure you are protecting your hearing. Today, I am going to review the best hearing protection for lawn mowing. Since people prefer one or the other, I will review the best ear muffs for lawn mowing and the best ear plugs for lawn mowing. After losing partial hearing in my left ear, this is a very important review for me to do. I want to make sure that I can help people keep their hearing for as long as they can. I am sure my no care attitude about my hearing in my younger days was the reason for my hearing loss. So do me a favor and make sure that you use proper hearing protection when mowing your lawn or other loud indoor/outdoor jobs.
There are certain things that you need to look for when purchasing hearing protection for lawn mowing. In my last article about the best radio headphones for lawn mowing, I only talked about radio headphones. Today, I am only going to review hearing protection that just protects your hearing, but doesn't play music. Some people don't want to listen to music while mowing their lawn or have a job that doesn't let you listen to music. So here are some very important things to look for when you are looking to buy the best hearing protection for lawn mowing:
Because some people like ear plugs when mowing their lawn and some people like ear muffs when mowing their lawn, I am going to review both. So what is the basic difference between the two?
Both have their advantages and disadvantages. In fact, some people where both at the same time when they are doing a job that is very, very loud. I have used both and find that the ear plugs, when inserted properly, block the noise a little better, but are not as comfortable and don't protect your entire ear of flying debris. Also, the ear muffs can get very hot if you are mowing your lawn in the middle of the day. Because they both are fairly inexpensive, you can try both out and see which one is better for you.
