Am I the only one to wear hearing protection?
Just a friendly reminder that spending more than a 6 hours a day even with a quieter polisher or vac without hearing protection will cause hearing damage. I see lots of pics of guys that are completing the multi-day polishing jobs with no hearing protection.
As a former high end audio/video salesperson, it makes me cringe when I see this. I use ear plugs even when I am using a power washer etc. in a garage for 10 min let alone the day. Once it becomes a habit to use them, you don't even notice the ear plugs are there.
Please use some protection so that you can enjoy your home theater when you are not working!  |

I try to use them when I am running a polisher for sure (and mowing the lawn!).

Re: Am I the only one to wear hearing protection?
Interesting! Never even thought it would be considered "that loud." Good to know!

Re: Am I the only one to wear hearing protection?
I am in my second year of detailing and the thought JUST hit me last weekend! LOL!! I am kinda thick like that! LOL! But it make sense!! Years of KISS concerts and drag races have certainly taken their toll on my hearing....but it's never too late to save what I can!!! Good post!!!

Re: Am I the only one to wear hearing protection?
It's definitely a good idea. Really, I should be polishing with a mask, too. It's just a hard habit to get into.

Re: Am I the only one to wear hearing protection?
I like to zone while I work. Headphones playing anything from Metallica, Ice Cube to Santana or Marylin Manson. Actually I listen to a wide range of stuff, its sick really
