It isn't _my_ music that justifies the earplugs. Properly fitted

make platinum this year.)
You have to crank up the volume so high to get any S/N ratio that you
can easily damage your hearing. Give me the occasional case of diver's
ear any day.

Bose noise-cancelling headphones. Well worth the cost if you spend
more than 20 hours a year in aircraft.
