🧠 FAQs – Shooting Hearing Protection
Q: What’s a good NRR for shooting?
A: For most firearm use, look for an NRR of 22 to 33 dB. Foam plugs usually offer the highest NRR, but muffs + plugs together are ideal for maximum protection.
Q: Should I use electronic or passive hearing protection?
A: Electronic protection is best for range use—you can hear range commands while still protecting against gunfire. Passive muffs are budget-friendly but limit awareness.
Q: Can I wear ear plugs under ear muffs?
A: Yes! This is called double protection and is especially useful indoors or with loud firearms like AR pistols or shotguns.
Q: Do I need different protection for hunting?
A: Hunters prefer in-ear or low-profile muffs that don’t interfere with cheek weld or helmets. Many electronic models also amplify ambient sounds for tracking game.
