One thing I started to do a couple of years ago is to wear some ear protection when using the high speed die grinder. I used to use it with no ear protection then noticed I had to have the sound turned way up on the TV later. Once you get used to wearing the ear protection you wonder why you didn't use it sooner.
A side note on safety glasses when using a die grinder. Many years ago I was porting a two cycle engine, aluminium I think. I stopped to check my progress and I removed my glasses to take a look. At the same time my buddy was looking at the port from the other side and decided to blow some of the chips out of the port. You guessed it, right in my eye. I had to go to the hospital where they dug out 3 or 4 pieces of metal from my eye. I am not some sort of safety nut but please be careful when using this type of tool.
