Default Headset: Unexpected safety bonus

In addition to the ANR, I still use foam earplugs and then turn up the
radio. That makes it even clearer.


You put earplugs in your ears, and then turn up the volume?

Isn't that sorta like holding the brakes whilst flooring the accelerator?
What, exactly, are you trying to accomplish?


Greater isolation from sounds *other than* the ones coming through the
amplifier. I use this same trick at the shooting range using
electronic muffs.
