Thread: Hearing protection

I use Howard Leights at the range as a rule. Hearing loss is cumulative and not all suppressors are hearing safe, especially over multiple shots. I find the Howards work well enough with fresh batteries but be a bit funny as they run out, worse case you can just turn them off and they work as regular muffs. I also carry foam plugs as back ups or if I forget the Howards, doh.

When hunting I just run suppressed. I have been using DPT suppressors they are great value for money and reasonably lightweight.

This chart is probably out of date now but is a good place to start.
