     Two  comments on your last message.  first if you  have  not 
tried the foam plug type do so.  For me at least they do  exactly 
what  you  want.  ie kill background but allow  conversation.   I 
would suggest calling a safety supply company and seeing if  they 
are willing to give you a free sample to try.  It would be polite 
to  buy some later.  Second the new Heathkit Catalog  I  received 
has  a  White/Pink  noise  generator kit.   You  mentioned  in  a 
previous message that you have some electronic skill so it should 
be  no problem.  The kit number is AD-1309, it costs  $39.95  and 
the  Skill level is 1 (easiest). You can call  1-800-253-0570  to 
order.   As far a headphones you could try some out at the  local 
stereo shop.  I'd guess that you want the older style rather than 
the  new  lightweight ones but try both.  If you really  want  to 
spend money David Clark noise canceling phones are available but, 
they cost several hundred dollars.  Try an Industrial or aviation 
electronics supplier.   
     I hope you find this information useful and let me know  hat 
happens.  
          Best of luck
