2023年7月11日 · OSHA (29 CFR 1910.95 and 29 CFR 1926.52) recommends adding 5db for the second set of protection, so 33+33 becomes 38, at best. It's also worth noting that OSHA has a formula for "real world use" that indicates an actual protection level of less than half (subtract 7 and divide by 2) so 38 becomes more like 15-16.

2011年4月15日 · Shooting without ear protection. Now we all know that shooting without proper ear protection can and will cause permanent hearing loss. However, when in a SD scenario, I doubt there will be time to throw in your ear plugs. Firing a gun without ear protection could disorient and stun you so follow up shots wouldn't be possible.

2011年8月31日 · A similar question was recently asked at the shotgun forum about hearing protection for Skeet shooting. I responded:I'm in the same boat as the others -- for me, muffs hit the stock with rifles and shotguns. I use my muffs only for handguns. For years I used "Sonic" generic ear plugs, but I'm happier since getting custom molded ones 25 years ago.

2011年8月16日 · What do you use for hearing protection when shooting skeet. Right now I'm using some big Peltor muffs, and they seem to get in the way a bit. I got these muffs for woodworking, when I am dealing with continuous high db noisemakers (large planer, jointer, table saw, dust collector etc), not the bangs of shotguns.

2013年3月9日 · We grew up shooting without hearing protection but then, we were dumb kids! I don't use hearing protection (HP) for hunting but for the range or plinking, I don't go without it. In short, if you have some adrenaline going, the gunshot most likely won't bother you during a hunt. However, you do take a risk to your hearing.

2014年1月26日 · One of the best things hearing protection does for your ear is reduce the impulse noise which is what causes the most amount of hearing damage. It is frequency dependent as well as noise volume dependent which is why you have to include an integration over a frequency range as shown in the NRR formula that integrates from 125 Hz to 8,000 Hz.

2007年2月22日 · I have fired .357 Magnum w/o hearing protection, and many other calibers too. I don't think it's an issue. More important than shooting sans hearing protection I would suggest you fire the .357 at night in very low light. You will be able to light a …

2006年1月27日 · When it comes to ear protection just make sure the product has a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 30 or close to it. Personally, I use custom molded plugs, I like them best. You can get disposable foam plugs with a NRR over 30. You can even double-up with those disposable plugs and muffs. That's what my wife does.

2021年12月20日 · I use the Peltor ShotgunnerII when shooting rifle, they have relief scallops on the bottom of the domes that provide stock clearance. When shooting highpower I add foam plugs too fir added protection. This has worked well for me for nearly 40 years of competition. There are other brands now which have the cutout for stock clearance now.

2022年10月22日 · Well, I’ve been looking for some decent ear protection to replace my Pro Ear Pro Mags. They have been in service since 2004. Finally died completely it 2022….18yrs $200….$11 per year with about monthly use. So, what is gunshot noise…LINK I think 3m describes this well. It is 150-170db of sound pressure in a very fast impulse.
