After years in server rooms, I think I'm due for hearing aids in my old age regardless. |
Two questions:
1. Did you have the little plugs plugged into the holes?
2. Do they fit properly?
Also, it's possible that the sound from the lawn mower lacks enough energy for the baffling system to make much difference. They're going to work a lot better with sudden, high intensity noises like gun shots, but they should work okay for lawn mowing too. I know mine work okay for that kind of machinery.
