Cotton wool is NOT good for hearing protection as it only has an average attenuation of 7dB whereas you require 25-30dB in an average metal workshop for proper protection. DO NOT use cotton wool as hearing protection EVER. If one tiny little cotton fibre gets left behind you're in trouble - ear infection on the way!
