I've had it! No more vacuums!!! They are horrible, even while wearing huge ridiculous ear muffs AND ear plugs - they spike the tinnitus every time.
 
The ear plugs are white cylinder foam 25dB, the ear muffs are basic 25dB. For some reason the frequency of the vacuum cuts through these anyway. I have to be 50 feet away if a vacuum is on with that hearing protection to handle it. Unbelievable!

Just gotta find the right earplugs that are good at blocking out most frequencies, some are terrible at blocking sound

3M E.A.R Classic ones used to be REALLY good but they changed the material and size :cry::mad::banghead:
 
Get a maid to do it, then you can lock yourself in a room until she's finished lol.

You can even get her to use the blender while u run away hehe
