And you *REALLY* don't want an inner ear infection, that knobbles

Speaking as someone who has suffered lots of ear infections, I entirely
agree with you.

I normally use a pair of decent peltor ear defenders for noisy stuff,
saves stuffing things in your ear canal.

Agreement again. The only thing you should put in your ear canal is your
elbow. Try it ;-)
