[QUOTE="SEGARE, post: 2776479, member: 108067"] A single shot from an unbraked CF gun produces enough sound to hearing loss and shooting a braked gun without hearing protection is foolish regardless of the brand. I use electronic muffs for hunting, and muffs and plugs for shooting for shooting anything CF. I shoot RF with just a single layer of protection. As mentioned above, I use protection with power tools or am on the tractor, and I double up when running a chainsaw or mower. I don't own a suppressed gun but I have shot several. I would hunt with suppressed gun without protection but wouldn't bench the same gun without having either muffs or plugs. A note on doubling up- you don't get the total antennuation for each component. The second layer adds about 5db of reduction. A second note- not all sound damage goes through the ear canal. Concussive energy is transmitted through the bones in the head and to the eardrum. [/QUOTE]
