[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 53019, member: 8947"] Some sounds are more irritating to some but does not cause any ear damage. The intensity (dB) and time exposed to that noise is what causes the damage - kills off the hairs in our ears which vibrate to transfer "sound" to other parts the ear and eventually to our brain. We loose the ability to hear different sound ranges. Damage is cumulative. Rifle fire is at very high dB's and it does not take much exposure to cause permanent hearing damage. Ear muffs absorb sounds above certain levels. The higher the dB rating, the more noise it absorbs. Try a pair of 31dB earmuffs next to one even of 29dB. There is a very significant difference. Add 33dB earplugs and things get real comfortable even with muzzle braked monsters. Worth the $30 for the earmuffs... Jerry [/QUOTE]
