I wear earplugs when DDing my Z because I don't want to go deaf. (I flew helicopters for the USMC, so I know dangerous noise levels when I experience them). If the Z were a commercial vehicle, OSHA would definitely require hearing protection. This is no big deal really, but I don't really bring many passengers in the Z due to limited ability to talk. Actually I should bring the wife in the Z more. It would probably enhance the experience!
