Anyone else like to use ear and eye protection?

I know I do.

I can't stand the perpetual whirl of my PC.

It's proven that sustained noise can damage hearing.

Occasionally, I wear clear glasses (non-prescription) incase product slings into my eyes.

Am I the only one?

 

The only ear protection I use is my iPod cranked all the way up

From time to time I'll wear glasses to prevent product from getting in eyes. Last thing I want is to have to rinse out my eyes... or worse..

 

Have the large 3m ear protectors (big orange ones) during polishing stage...nothing for eye protection as I wear glasses already and splatter, if any, should not get around them...

 

Do I LIKE to... hellllll no.... I really hate safety glasses and earplugs, but I do when they are needed.

 

I wear ear protection, more so as a precautionary measure.

 

I don't use anything but I really think I need to

 

I wear ear protection, dust mask, and gloves while polishing.

 

i wear ear pro while polishing. the whine of any rotary will definitely affect your hearing after prolonged operation, trust me. it got to the point where i was noticing a difference in my hearing after a while. the little soft foam ear plugs seem to work just fine.

 

I wear glasses anyways, but I do wear gloves and ear plugs. I take a 5 min break every hour for fresh air and beverages.

 

I wear my noise cancelling headphones that I use for business trips when flying, they work great. I wear glasses too so no need for anything else.

 

I wear ear plug whenever I use the buffer. I didn't previously and now my ears experience a ring sound occassional. I am actually more concern with the dust we breath in especially when we do compounding.

 

I always wear I protection and gloves as its very easy to get stuff in your eyes while spray and chemicals.

 

I started wearing the little orange foam ear plugs a few years ago after I realized that my hearing was really starting to suck. They are inexpensive and easy to use. I wear safety glasses when i use my rotary, not so much with the PC.

 

yes always

 

I have nothing else to compare the noise to, are quieters machines available?

 

i usualy wear big headphones with ipod and works pretty good. have to put battery in to see how noice canceling works on those
i wear eye protection sometimes when i have to get level with pad to see defects

 

If you are even using a pressure washer or vacuum, you should wear hearing protection. Prolonged use of ANY of these machines will cause hearing loss.

 

Eye and Hearing protection are mandatory much under certain circumstances.. and i can think of many many circumstances...

 

Working at a gun club for 10 years,as well shooting outdoors without ear protection too care of that for me LOL.... but I agree.
