Call the gas company and have them check it out. But do so from OUTSIDE the house..if your basement is filled with fumes, even a cellphone or cordless phone could be enough of an electrical charge to ignite a room full of fumes. The gas company should come out and check it for you without charging you, assuming it wasn't something like a portable heater or somehow something you or another resident caused.
Just get the foam ear plugs, either with the hard 'headphone' looking thing or the ones with a string between them. Either way, you can still wear a regular face shield or get RX safety glasses and use them with that. Really, every ear protection device will work with a face shield or safety glasses. Most safety glasses can be worn over RX glasses, too. They suck to wear, but they can be worn. Personally, I wear safety glasses provided by a factory I worked at. Those side shields that slide onto regular glasses doesn't make them safe. The lenses must be 4 mm thick (at the thinnest part) and cover a certain percentage of the eye (like 4 or 5 times larger) to meet OSHA regulations. While I don't generally wear hearing protection, I probably should. Glad that your thinking of it.
