<<noise cancellation headphones>>

Et Al;
 A word of caution is needed here, in my opinion, since several have mentioned
these devices.  What the noise cancellation device does is reduce the level of
perceived noise and not reduce the level of noise. A harmful noise level
without use of a noise cancelling device is just as harmful with the use of
one.  They are extremely useful for cancelling perceived noises and use of one
will allow one to feel fresher after exposure to noise than being exposed to
the same noise without one but..........if the level is high enough to damage
hearing without use of this device it will still damage it even though the
device is used.  I love these things but......... use them with knowledge and
caution please.
