My hearing has degraded since I started shooting skeet, 5 stand, and sporting clays. My left ear is worse than my right, which is consistent with shooting, for some reason. Foam plugs have got to be seated well in the ear canal. But nothing will stop the shockwaves conducted through your skull.

From wearing both ear plugs and muffs, the next step up is something like a flight line helmet. They have to be able to block both very high dB continual and peak sounds.

In shooting single-shot pistols and magnum handguns, many with muzzle brakes, I wear both.
Hearing loss is cumulative.

Good advice on hearing protection on this thread. Once you lose it...it does not come back.
I have a constant ringing in my ears...tinnitus I guess...do to too much unprotected discharge...(heh heh heh)
Oh, and Lou...cigarette filters do not work.

After years of research, OSHA has determined that you cannot get anything more than 85 dcb protection. That is the max of plugs and muffs.
