What do you lot think of them?

The model of ear defenders: Silverline 633816

Good choice.

I love ear defenders. They're an Autistic persons best friend. You can see mine in my profile picture.

I have the Peltor X1A SNR 27dB Ear Defenders and they're amazing but I'm thinking of getting the Peltor X4A for when I go to college as it's quite loud in college and the X1A doesn't seem to block out everything.

I may buy the Peltor X5A for when I know I'm going somewhere very noisy like a pantomime or to the O2 arena. My mum and I are going (hopefully soon) to see Mrs Browns Boys Live so they'll be really useful for that as I'm sure it gets very loud.

The Peltor Ear Defenders are expensive but the price is worth it because they don't clamp your head and make it uncomfortable. I can wear them all day and night without them hurting or my ears getting hot. Also they're made out of nice soft materials and the headband is made from rubber so it feels nice on my head. They're also very thin and look like normal headphones rather than being all big and sticking out like other Ear Defenders.

I should look into this for me as I do a lot of reading and the noise of people talking and the Furnace or air conditioner or even the fridge humming bothers me.

I have industrial-grade highest sound block ear defenders. I wear them at home when I want the windows open or when the neighbours are being noisy. So many meltdowns have been prevented by them.

I know exactly what you mean. As soon as my mum opens the windows in my room (mainly for the dogs rather than me) I put my ear defenders on straight away. When I'm in college in class, there's always someone blasting their music so loudly that I can hear it through their headphones which causes so many meltdowns but now the ear defenders have helped so much and have prevented so many meltdowns in college.

I also use my Beats Studio 2.0 Wireless to block out sound because they work amazingly well. I got the wireless ones because wired headphones make me feel really restricted and uncomfortable. While I'm having my break, I can sit in a noisy crowded café because I wear my Beats and use them to watch shows on my iPad. I barely notice the large crowd and loud noises when I've got my Beats and iPad out.

I also use them whilst on the bus or train. My mum thinks they're a blessing because instead of me covering my ears and making noises, I'm sitting still (well, rocking) and just watching my iPad. It's amazing.

I've been considering getting a pair of noise cancelling headphones since the noise my roommates make drives me batty. Any recommendations?

Don't ear defenders work better as it does not use prodections?

These are the ones I use: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Peltor-Optime- ... 89AYKG2S75

They're very useful for places like movie theatres and my sister's band concerts. I've also worn them when there's a lot of noise like construction or lawn mowing going on outside my window, and they're very helpful.

I'm curious, what exactly are these things for?

I've heard the term "ear defenders" before but not really heard what the heck exactly they are or are intended to do.

EDIT: Ignore this, a double post.

Seriously, the glitchiness of this site is getting out of control here.

Ear defenders are essentially like earplugs with more ability to block out sound; NTs often use them for things like construction work or gardening with motorized equipment to keep from damaging their ears. We use them to protect against sensory overload.

I really like my ear defenders, they're purple, and very helpful. I also have ones that play music as well as being ear defenders.

I still want to be able to listen to music while I'm blocking out other noise.

I do by putting ear phones under the ear defenders.

I thought about that. Might have to give it a shot.
