Ambient hotel or airplane noise? Snoring travel companion? Noise-blocking earmuff devices may be the answer.
Two styles from Howard Leight help keep it quiet. Leightning LOF earmuffs, for those discharging firearms, are top-notch against racket. For those who want to listen to music, Impact Sport noise-canceling electronic earmuffs have an audio jack and controls that let you have a conversation by amplifying low-level sounds while masking harmful levels above 82 decibels.
Both models have adjustable padded headbands and thickly cushioned plastic ear cups. Both have spring mechanisms that allow the muffs to fold out for use then pop back in compactly.
Leightning LOF earmuffs cost $30; Impact Sport electronic earmuffs cost about $50. Info: www.howardleight.com
