Stopped by one of my fav thrift shops, today. Found these:
http://www.cabelas.com/prod-1/0027561226688a.shtml
in black for 99 cents. They work SO well, I can't even hear my Blue and
Gold Macaw's long range echolocation SONAR, a deafening flock call I'm sure
can be heard at 20 miles in open country.

Sometimes you wanna little "quiet time" where you just can't hear anything.
These are great. I have no data but I'd bet 50db of attenuation would be
conservative. They fit nice without touching your ears inside the cups.

My only complaint is, to get a good seal, the cups are softly padded vinyl
which, of course, makes you sweat. With the intensive internal foam
attenuators, they'd make your ears warm at -50C...(c;

Well, you don't feel it when you're napping in your favorite computer
chair....as life goes clanking and screaming around you....

Larry, if you're wearing those, how are you going to hear the MIB
sneaking up on you, they want to get you for uncovering their super
secret conspiracy to take over the world by selective impoverishment.

Cheers
