Re: For Jon Risch and anyone. I think "Ear Muffs are my only hope. Do they work? Can they still be bought? Or made.

I do not think they are still being sold, they used to run adds in the back of Audio magazine, and sometimes others.

You could make a set of your own DIY Ear Muffs, the hard part is the frame. Perhaps PVC water pipe could be used, and silicone rubber to glue foam (be sure it is real acoustic grade foam), or fiberglass with kraft paper (minimum 6" thick, 8" would be better), that is wrapped in poly, covered in burlap, and silicone glued, or tacked to the pipe frame. I would fill the PVC with sand, or at least inject the expanding weatherstripping foam into the hollow portion, to reduce pipe resonances.
