Electronic hearing protection has evolved to fill this critical need, protecting the shooter’s hearing when they need it while still allowing ambient sounds that won’t harm hearing through.
It works by capturing external noises using microphones and replicating those noises on speakers within the earmuffs. For example, if a gunshot exceeds the safe hearing threshold, it cuts off the amplification or lowers the noise level of the gunshot to a safe level.
Instead of earmuffs to protect from gunshots, you may consider the best shooting earbuds we have featured here.
Other great earmuffs are radio headphones for mowing.
