Thank you for the great suggestion, Michael. All suggestions are welcome. You are spot on, I use 34db wax/cotton ear plugs and Bose noise reduction headphones. The challenge construction brings to me is infrasound (sound deeper than human hearing), also generated by some motorcycles and large trucks (hense why I generally avoid paved roads unless very remote or very early in the morning before dawn).
Interestingly (perhaps only to me) I couldn't wear plugs or earphones (because I use some form of echo location to help compensate for the vertigo) until I began going barefoot and the echo location stopped being my primary form of compensation. Thanks again!
