protection advice

You'd have been better off with a suppressor and it would've been far cheaper AND it would've been faster AND it would always be with the gun.

What do they even do better than foam plugs I get from amazon for $20 per 200 pair?

Should have just bought a hearing aid and said "Fuck earpro, we didn't have that in the great war!"

jesus christ man that's way too fucking much and you're talking to someone who paid $1200 for custom in ear monitors

if you were thinking you might need to double up you would have been better served with normal earplugs underneath electronic ones

yeah but good suppressors are like a thousand bucks and only last for so long

And you're seriously thinking your overpriced earwax-coated electronics are going to outlast a suppressor?

>Only last for so long

You're not going to wear out a good suppressor and you act like a thousand is alot when you just spent 2600 on fucking earplugs.

OP here, that comment wasn't mine; thanks for the input though. So would you say wearing earmuffs is necessary combined with (electronic) earplugs in close quarters? People do tend to advise to wear protection even when using suppressors

I wouldn't bother. I am unsure if I'd bother with either.

If you're lucky enough to get the ear plugs in when you have to use your gun in self defense (skeptical) I wouldn't risk putting on and doubling up. You might get some hearing damage who knows but lots of things can give you hearing damage.

>People advise protection when using suppressors

Ideally yes, especially indoors, but again you're using it to defend yourself don't fuck around needlessly with stuff that doesn't need to be fucked with. If you're using subsonic 9mm or something you'll be fine but even with supersonic I would think the damage is minor with a good suppressor.

Also consider that suppressors provide around 30 decibels or reduction, many times more depending on the suppressor. Most foam plugs (good ones) are around 32. So if suppressors hurt your hearing without protection so do foam plugs without doubling up, and even in some cases with doubling up.

Rule of thumb when doubling up is you take the highest NRR rating of the two ear pro you're wearing and add 5. So in my case I wear ear plugs which are 32 nrr and electronic headphones that are about 25. In total I'm getting around (roughly) 37 NRR. A good suppressor can near that.

If you are in the exceptionally rare category of needing your gun for home defense do not over complicate the scenario with too much shit. Keep it simple. That's why I like suppressors. Grab the gun you're using and you're ready, have a light on it as well.

Side note. This is all unprofessional untrained advice from an armchair enthusiast so take what I say with a grain of salt.
