We're STILL coming out from under that shit. Me and my father have a wood shop, and I have to get after him about eye and ear protection. And yeah, he's an IT guy and I'm a mechanic, I was shown those gory training videos, he wasn't. Things I've heard him say, "I'm wearing my regular glasses," "It doesn't sound that loud, it doesn't bother me." Especially with hearing protection, I think he's just being macho. I've had sensitive hearing since I was a kid and sometimes I'll just sit around in my ANR headset not listening to anything just...shutting the HVAC and the fridge and the rumble of society out.
