Are gel ear plugs good for shooting?

Absolutely. Gel ear plugs offer comfort during long range sessions and provide reliable noise reduction, especially when paired with earmuffs for double protection.

What’s the difference between gel and foam ear plugs?

Foam plugs expand in your ear canal for a tight seal but may cause pressure. Gel plugs mold gently to your ear, offering better comfort for extended wear.

Gel Ear Plugs – Soft, Reusable Comfort for Shooters & Professionals

When long days at the range or extended shifts demand maximum comfort, gel ear plugs provide a superior alternative to foam. Designed for shooters, hunters, and professionals working in high-noise environments, gel ear plugs conform to your ears, offering a custom fit that minimizes irritation and maximizes protection.

At Mounts Plus, we carry gel-based and gel-filled ear plugs designed to give you extended wear comfort, effective noise reduction, and reliable retention—even during intense activity.

What Are Gel Ear Plugs?

Unlike traditional foam plugs that expand inside your ear canal, gel ear plugs use medical-grade silicone or polymer gel to mold to your ears more gently. This provides:

✅ A more comfortable and secure fit
✅ Less pressure or fatigue after extended use
✅ Reusable construction with easy cleaning
✅ Greater resistance to sweat, moisture, and dust
✅ Ideal for shooting, hunting, construction, and tactical applications

Gel vs. Foam: Which Is Better?

Ear Plug Type	NRR Range
Foam Disposable	30–32 dB
Reusable Silicone	22–28 dB
Electronic In-Ear	21–25 dB

If you need all-day wear with consistent comfort and durability, gel plugs are the clear winner.
