That report is a joke, though, right? Who ends an article about a suicide related to tinnitus with, "The hearing continues." ??? Seriously?
Yeah, I almost laughed when I read that.

Ear muffs to me are furry things to stop your ears getting cold... are you talking about those or about the noise reduction headphones that construction workers wear, which, except on gayer building sites, are usually sans fur...
One thing to be careful of using industrial ear protection while making or mixing music the the rather skewed frequency response some of these can give. As you know from acoustically treating your studio, it's much easier to deal with high frequencies than low and the same applies to hearing protection which can often give you a very bass-heavy response. For simple protection isn't a bad thing since the HF content can do a lot of the damage but it isn't great when you're judging how you sound.
Even the specialist protection for musicians isn't exactly flat--but it comes a lot closer!
