Thanks for the help. I have tried some  of the industral sound
reducers andthis is what led me realize that my problem is not a
matter of just too loud of sounds bothering me. My problem is that
my brain does not screen out background noises. The intensity has
very little bearing on the ability to hear,but the frequency does.
Just what the relationship is,I do not know. The co-sysop
menutioned that some companes,have what they call sound
masking,using  something called pink noise or other type of
background masking sounds. I thought I would share this with u as a
point of information.

 Thanks again  IHS
