Ear Protection When Cutting Grass
Answers to Your Questions about Hearing Loss Issues
Ear Protection When Cutting Grass by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. A man asked:
In order to protect your hearing, all you need to do is bring down the loud sounds to 80 dB or less.When wearing ear muffs with a 30 dB rating, you could be in noise as loud as 110 dB. Lawn mowers and tractors produce sounds in the neighborhood of 100 dB (more or less depending on the model). Therefore, good ear muffs with a protection rating of about 30 dB would be more than adequate. They would bring sounds down to about 70 dB which is not damaging to your ears at all. Incidentally, my ear muffs work so well for me that I can’t even hear my motor running. (I use a walk behind mower.) --> Printer Friendly Version  No Comments Comments are closed. Archived Entry

Lawnmowers and Ear Protection by Neil Bauman, Ph.D. A man wrote
I’m glad you are concerned about your remaining hearing because once it’s gone, it’s gone! I would think that good ear muffs with a protection rating of about 30 dB would be more than adequate. All you are trying to do is bring the loud sounds down to 80 dB or so. With a 30 dB rating, you could be in noise as loud as 110 dB–and I doubt your riding mower is that loud.
