[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1072238, member: 50867"] I have have the Howard Leight R-01526 Impact Sport Electronic Earmuffs and I use them religiously. Like most others I've used, IMO they don't reduce the noise level of the [U]muzzle brake rifle[/U] and some large caliber rifles enough to adequately protect hearing. Therefore I always use foam insert plugs along with the earmuff styles for improved protection. If you figure that these typical good quality earmuffs reduce noise levels by 22 - 25db (only when they are properly fitted which means not being pressed again the comb of a rifle butt) and that the brake equipped rifle can produce noise levels in the range of 135db+ you're still experiencing at least 105 +/- db and that's damaging to hearing.
