>Hello,
   Where can I get the strongest hearing protectors?  Most I've seen are
attenuate around 30db at best and only in some frequency ranges.  Does
using foam ones in addition to headset type do much better?  What do
people use who direct jets in and out of gates?

Mike:  The most attenuation you can get with any device is about 30 db,
because the inner ear still receives sound through the skull.  I use foam
inserts with earmuffs for the best results.
