Reply to comment by Boredummmage in LPT: Wear Earplugs everywhere when reasonably possible. by Longjumping-Basil-74

so you're saying that there are earplugs in existence that would mute alarm sounds? extremely high pitched noises? best I've ever achieved even with noise cancelling in-ear was muffling outside world A BIT, never ever it stopped ALL noise from coming. How would that be even possible?

You are assuming everyone has the same level of hearing. There is people with hearing loss around you without you even noticing. For those people an alarm might be just "right", not too loud.

I have about 40% of my sound capacity taken up by tinnitus, constant "beeeeeeeeep" sound , since I was born, thus I'm still wondering.

Most of the time I have hard time understanding what people around me say, using normal voice. I get lots of feedback that I'm "yelling". But every single loud thing , is clear to me.
