Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead?

Speed running hearing loss. Typically, people crank the audio levels to hear it over the equipment. Get some work-rated hearing protection muffs and wear the earbuds inside that.
However I’d argue that hearing protection combined with additional noise is a good way to lose situational awareness.

Decent buds are as good as earplugs where I work. I seldom crank the volume. If I’m on my tractor no one is around or I don’t use anything. It’s a quiet little 25 horse diesel so that’s not bad. I’m a musician and very protective of my ears, but thanks for the concern.
