Mr48, what hearing protection do you use when using that mask?

I've been using a face mask air filter when grinding to keep the dust out of my lungs. Dual cartridge type, then a set of goggles and on top of that my earmuffs for hearing protection and I wear gloves.

Anything I'm missing?
I've just got foam ear plugs like I had all the time when I was working in the fruit processing plant. I've still got a pair of the ear muffs that I wore instead though and they have replaceable ear pads .

I'd just ask the folks at the place where I got the rest of my safety equipment = mask/face shield. Hearing protection is seriously required in many manufaturing plants now and the folks who sell safety equipment tend to keep up with the needs of workers. It may not be cheap but they have fixes.
