Been doing it for about 4 years now. I make sure I don't have it turned up to loud but can still hear it. Either have the radio on when I need to hear voices or some good music. Best way to keep one's self motivated on a particularly ugly job I find.

Best thing I ever bought was a set of the MSA earmuffs with radio in that fit the husky helmets - first set did about 7 years before finally stopping working but have just recently inherited another set - those few weeks without them were a bit of a struggle.

a combination of an iphone with the headphones they provide would be good, as it is also a hands free kit so you can get the groundy to phone you while you explain things instead of shouting!

 

I used to have a phone pouch zip tied to my harness, i would sit my phone in that and play music during rec climbs, makes it more enjoyable.

I find my only issues are going through both MP3 players and earphones like a dose of salts. I've been buying my players from Amazon direct from the states as it's cheaper. I have a good one I use for in the car and then a cheaper one for on the job. Smahed a few up by swinging into branches and crushing the LCD face. Dropped a brand new one out of my pocket in a Forest and never found that either. Had a couple nearly go through the chipper and my current Zen is full of dust but still keeps going. Even hit one with a saw when I forgot to put the chain brake on and had chain creep. Stopped the saw hitting my leg and the thing still worked. I've even been known to cancel a job because I forgot my MP3. Granted it was hosing it down with freezing rain and I didn't need much encouragment.

 

Just had a hearing test and my hearing is still excellent. I'm able to hear stuff that apparently, if you are over the age of 26 you shouldn't be able to hear, so I must have the volume levels set about right.

I often listen to my mp3 player when mowing and hedge cutting, but don't use it on tree work.

often get caught singing to loud which is not good I am no X factor contestant
