❓ FAQs – Shooting Hearing Protection
Q: What’s the best hearing protection for shooting indoors?
Use electronic earmuffs with 25+ dB NRR, or combine passive earplugs and muffs for double-layered protection.
Q: Is Bluetooth ear protection safe for the range?
Yes. Bluetooth models like the Axil GS Extreme allow streaming while still suppressing loud gunshots instantly.
Q: Can kids use adult-size earmuffs?
Some adult earmuffs fit small heads, but we recommend youth-specific models for proper fit and comfort.
Q: What’s the difference between passive and electronic muffs?
Passive muffs block sound equally. Electronic muffs amplify safe sounds and suppress dangerous ones automatically.
