[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2409771, member: 116181"] Some brake designs do really protect the shooter from the increase in noise, the problems come when someone is shooting next to a rifle with a brake - that's where people can unknowingly hurt themselves because they're in a focused zone where the sound is increased compared to a bare muzzle. In the field normal ear pro should be fine from the shooter's position. Precision Armament has a good memo on splash back dangers with brakes - this is the comparison I made between suppressors and ear pro/ brakes and eye pro. IMO the risk is minimal, but if someone is going to tell you a suppressor requires ear pro, the flip side in my mind is a brake requires eye pro.
