sound levels and hearing loss

...for purposes of receiving
or listening to broadcasts or reproductions from radios, tape decks,
or other sound-producing or
transmitting devices.

That's a key section. If you wear a noise cancelling headset which
covers both ears, but not for the purpose of listending to radio (etc),
then you're ok by that law.
