   I recommend that you just use standard ear plugs. Anything that is really great at keeping out sound, or worse yet using ANR to cancel the sound can get you killed.

   You need to know where the dangers are, and your ears should be a great source of information.

   Frankly, I’m surprised that your employer/airport will allow any ANR technology on the ramp.

   When I did line work I stuck with a set of earplugs on a band that holds them tight in your ear. They didn’t work amazingly well, but they were the easier to use than standard ear plugs, and not as bulky as headphones.

   if I knew I’d be out for extended time, or if something particurally loud was coming in (GII and GIII’s are ungodly loud) I’d take a set of headphones. I found inexpensive headsets to be enough protection.

   I would not recommend any consumer anr headsets. First off, they are expensive and they will get trashed out. Secondly, they are ment to reduce low level noise, they do their job well but they aren’t made to work well standing in front of a jet. You could go with some aviation headsets, they will work but you’ll pay $500-$1000 for them.

   Get a set of comfortable headphones and don’t worry about it. If you’re working at a commercial airport, those jets aren’t all that loud and earplugs or headphones will do just fine.
