If you look at the label of the ear protection, then consider how much noise comes out of a saw, especially a muffler modded saw, you'll see that you need both plugs and headphones to get to a noise level where your close to being safe.

Hearing damage is somewhat frequency dependent and there can be large spikes like in hammering noises that the meters don't pick up but do lots of damage
