not banned. Just taken off when they put on kelly spinners and such. This vid is from when I worked for Patterson UTI. We still had a spinning chain. miss it too.
lol in some situations. I recently started trying to wear it all the time, and they are right that to some degree you do start to adjust after time and can hear people better when they talk to you
Thought Chain spinning was banned? Ensign rig?

no one uses hearing protection. it is dangerous to do so. you need to be able to hear everything and everyone.
