It'll be interesting to compare this time round. I get to wear a Peltor comms headset which is pretty well sealed against external noise, and I wonder if I'll be able to turn the volume down in it a little this year and actually be able to hear things around me.

I think your dad is right, if you have to wear such heavy ear protection then so much is lost and your left in somewhat of a daze because apart from anything else you are standing or sitting at one part of the circuit, and can miss so much anyway..
