being married i have selective hearing around the house, but try to always double up(plugs and muffs) when shooting
My wife made me get a hearing test. I passed with flying colors. Got a prescription telling her to talk less.

With his finger on the trigger:dumbass:
And speaking of plugs, I just got my SureFire Sonic Defenders PLUS today.
NRR is 19 dB, but that is (as far as I can tell) for steady, low intensity sounds. When a suddent high intensity wave hits them, the attenuation is better, and the sound level never gets to where it can damage your hearing. Someday I may cut an old pair open to examine what kind of design they are using, but what matters is that it works.
I picked up a pair of EP3's (the non-Plus Defenders) over the weekend. They're 16dB, I believe. I tried them while mowing the lawn and the noise was unacceptably loud. I went back and put my muffs on instead. I'm going to try them the next time I go to the range, but I think I may look for a pair of the EP4's instead.

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.
