Please make them stop. Why are they still legal? My neighbor has been using a mower, weed eater, and leaf blower for 5.5 hours. Nobody else ever notices the noise but my auditory sensitivities make me want to claw my skin off.

I have loops on my key chain. It switches between three settings but I can never tell the difference. I want to buy more for sure, but they are pricey.

I have some to play specifically with my band that kills 20db. The stick out of the ears though, so I just use the loops.

Are they an Active Noise Cancelling type?

I've been using the old school silicone guys with a little plastic widget that lets in a small amount of sound, unfortunately can't use the powered type because of explosive atmosphere safety laws (smh why won't these companies let me die /j )

Mine are passive. What are the safety laws?

One of the rules to stop people from setting off explosions is that nobody's allowed electronics or anything with exposed metal / has materials that pose a static charge risk in an area that could have gas or flammable dust.
