@69 decibels the polisher’s not really that loud. The vacuum is much louder and even it’s not that loud..

At least a few years back now, OSHA's standard was anything over 85 Decibels in an industrial environment required a mitigation plan. Not sure if that has been changed. But if a polisher is 69 Decibels, it wouldn't require any mitigation.
But I think the fact is, protection at a lower level will do no harm, and may do good.

Re: Earplugs Use Benefits
My polisher is pretty loud and in an enclosed garage it really becomes uncomfortable and irritating for me. The sound levels may not be enough to cause hearing loss, but I'll still pop in a set of ear plugs and enjoy the peace and quiet while I work. I'm dealing with a mild hearing loss already, so I don't take any chances. I'll also wear them when mowing or running the weedeater.

Re: Earplugs Use Benefits
I never used to wear ear plugs, but now I wish I would have now that I'm older and can't hear as well. I had a custom set of molded silicone ear plugs made at a motorcycle show about 3 years ago and use them whenever I'm doing paint correction, using the vacuum, and even when I'm using the leaf blower to dry of the car.
2005 Dodge SRT4 400whp/480wtq | 2015 Nissan Frontier (daily driver) Both are corrected and coated with CQuartz UK 3.0 by me
I detail out of my garage as a side job on the weekends and do about 6-8 cars per month.

Cant understand the waiters in a restaurant when telling us the specials.
Wish i can turn back the clock.

I use earplugs with my gg6. It is just loud enough to be annoying.

Re: Earplugs Use Benefits
In one word tinnitus . years of shooting guns, running chain saws, riding motorcycles, running bulldozers & driving trucks. it'll all get you in the end. when you have tinnitus your ears ring all day long everyday. wish someone would have educated me about it back when. when I see someone doing all the wrong things pertaining to ear protection I speak up. if they listen they listen if not they'll learn. hair dryers are notorious for contributing to tinnitus. being bald for more then 40 years I can't blame the dryer. protect your ears, you been told.

Re: Earplugs Use Benefits
It’s this guy’s first post and he said the same thing like 4 times. I’m guessing he sells earplugs for a living.
