What is the best hearing protection for shooting?

The best protection combines electronic earmuffs with foam plugs for maximum NRR. For tactical use or comfort, in-ear systems like Axil or Sordin work well.

Do I need hearing protection with a suppressor?

Yes. Suppressed firearms still exceed safe decibel levels. High-quality ear protection is still necessary to prevent long-term hearing damage.

What does NRR mean in ear protection?

NRR stands for Noise Reduction Rating and indicates how much sound is blocked. Higher NRR values mean greater hearing protection.

Can I wear ear plugs and muffs at the same time?

Yes. Wearing foam plugs under earmuffs provides double hearing protection and is highly recommended for indoor or high-decibel shooting.

Shooting Hearing Protection – Electronic Muffs, Foam Plugs & Tactical Ear Pro

Protect Your Hearing – Stay Safe, Sharp, and Aware

Every shot fired can permanently damage your hearing. Whether you’re practicing at the range, training tactically, or out in the field, proper shooting hearing protection is non-negotiable. At Mounts Plus, we offer a comprehensive selection of NRR-rated hearing protection — from foam ear plugs to Bluetooth-enabled electronic earmuffs — designed to keep your ears safe while enhancing your situational awareness.

🔊 Why You Need Hearing Protection for Shooting

Gunfire often exceeds 140–180 decibels, far above the 85 dB limit considered safe for unprotected exposure. Without quality hearing protection:

You risk permanent hearing loss or tinnitus
You reduce your awareness and communication
You fatigue faster due to sound-related stress

Modern hearing protection helps you block hazardous sounds while allowing you to hear range commands, teammates, or game movement clearly.
