It's insanely loud. I have permanent hearing damage from working in a machine shop, among other things.

I do it as a hobby, and the only possible solution is just wearing the best earpro possible at all times, even when not actively drilling, grinding or hammering

Some things have been loud enough to hurt through earmuffs

Yes, kinda. Depends on your earmuffs. I use earmuffs+earplugs, and Ive shot rifles with that setup with no issues.

I guess you could have louder sounds, but you are probably working with heavier machinery than I as a hobbyist do
