[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 2458972, member: 59526"] Go look at [URL]https://pewscience.com/sound-signature-reviews[/URL]. When it gives a suppression rating is based on the intensity of the exposure over time. We all know anything over 85 dB can cause damage after an hour or two and that anything over 140 dB for any amount of time can cause instantaneous hearing loss. A suppressor gets you below the threshold of instantaneous damage and in shirt enough duration that there are many configurations that are in fact safe to shoot without ear protection. Now you can research that and then go research how exactly hearing protection is rated. “33 dB reduction” on your muffs does not mean it takes 160 dB down to 127 dB. So from your perspective you should only ever be shooting suppressed and with ear plugs. [/QUOTE]
