So, youā€™re saying that the brake valves venting under the dash at 130db and the constant racket of the engine, ventilation/circulation fans and other various pneumatics being 85-90db might just be a bit louder than is safe for hearing?

I tried to reset my password,ā€¦ no email for like 10 minutes, requested a new code, got the email,ā€¦ wrong codeā€¦ then the page wouldnā€™t reload when I got the second email,ā€¦ had to request a THIRD code because I couldnā€™t get back to the correct pageā€¦.

Wrong codeā€¦ WHAT THE ACTUAL F!

Screw it, Iā€™ll just check out as a guest,ā€¦ too many code requests, wait 15 minutes and request a new code.

Half hour later same freaking messageā€¦.

Fine!

Iā€™ll check out as a guest with my alternate email,ā€¦..

$200 later, I have two sets of those buds on the way! :grin:

Hopefully my dip :poop: dog doesnā€™t eat them! :rofl::rofl::smiling_face_with_sunglasses::money_with_wings:

If those numbers are correct, then yes. What kind of vehicle are we talking about?

By law, your employer should be providing you with proper PPE for noise exposure. (SEE SECTION B. 1)

Howard-Leight (the same folks that make earplugs) have several options for shooting and other working environments.

It isnā€™t just the ear cups with the Walkers Iā€™ve tried, itā€™s the headband, too. Itā€™s definitely my pinhead thatā€™s the issue!

Buy cheap earplugs or earbuds and test them. You may eventually find those more comfortable and more useful for your shooting style.

Worried about NRR or SNR? Passive earplugs give the best protection, Bluetooth earbuds gives the same protection as muffs, if you buy a good product.

Itā€™s always about balancing between your style/comfort and safety/protection. The same what we are doing with concealed carry holsters and shooting glasses :upside_down_face:

Since I donā€™t have to pay for a 200 dollar tax stamp im buying a suppressor for every thing I own that I can attach one to. Itā€™s made firing my favorite AR a hoot.

Last range day, I was shooting my 5.56 Tavor with the can, my buddy was shooting his also suppressed .300blk,

Then he switched to his non suppressed 6.5 Grendel, ouch! Yeah I wasnā€™t wearing earpro.

So do keep that in mind when shooting with friends!

Got the 35% off and happy you made that recommendation. I ordered the https://goaxil.com/products/mx-electronic and got it for 60. Not bad. I will double up but at least I will be able to hear the range Master. :thinking:

I bought the Axil Trackr Blu and swapped out the ear pieces for a pair of generic Prohear gel cups. Very comfortable overall and the noise cancelation is brisk. The trade-off is that the Bluetooth audio could be better. Iā€™ve a less expensive pair of Prohears with better audio; however, the sound dampening is better on the Axil pair and thatā€™s of main importance. Might as well keep both sets.

I love my axils, but youā€™re right about Bluetooth sound quality. That was secondary to protection for me though, so Iā€™m still happy.

Same. If you havenā€™t picked up gel ear cups, I recommend them. Improves the noise cancelation and comfort even more. These fit perfectly:

I picked up the Gels for my Walkers, it feels like air conditioning for my ears! :grinning_face:
