Like many woodworkers, I am frequently kept company in my shop my Ricochet (aka Shea), my shop dog. Up until now, whenever I would run noisy equipment Shea would be sent over to the house to keep my wife company, so that the equipment noise did not damage her ears.
For Valentines Day this year, my wife surprised me with a gift that will allow Shea to hang around the shop even when I'm running noisy equipment. It seems that she found a product called "Mutt Muffs" that are designed to provide hearing protection for dogs. They work great (I tested them on Shea to see if she could hear my commands - she couldn't).
Amazon has them, as well as some pet supply places, for around 38 bucks. Definitely a good investment!
