Hearing protection FAQs

Can I double up ear plugs and earmuffs when shooting?

Yes. Many shooters combine foam plugs with earmuffs for higher effective protection, especially on indoor ranges or when shooting magnum calibers or braked rifles.

What is NRR on hearing protection?

NRR, or Noise Reduction Rating, is a laboratory-tested estimate of how much a device can reduce noise. Higher NRR numbers generally indicate greater potential noise reduction.

How does electronic hearing protection help on the range?

Electronic models reduce harmful gunfire while amplifying speech and ambient sounds, helping shooters hear range commands, conversation, and environmental cues more clearly.
