I typically double up my hearing protection at the range (30 NRR muffs + earplugs = 35 NRR). If I'm doing my math correctly, that should come out to a db reduction of (35 - 7)÷2 = 14. With handguns at indoor ranges being ~160db, how the frack do I not have hearing loss when I'm exposed to ~146db sound every time I go to the shooting range?

OSHA standards top out at 115db, so I'm not certain what to use as a benchmark.

lol, I don't know a single gunny who doesn't have hearing damage. Its just the reality of the sport and honestly one of the major reasons the Hearing Protection Act https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/95 needs to literally have everyone's full support.

Call you representative and demand their support for this type of legislation and share it with your friends.

I like going to the range and to raves. I'm fucked. Wear at least some kind of protection at both. Mild tinnitus, usually not noticeable but it flairs up every now and then.
