As a shooter I have all sorts of hearing protection around here. 29 dB muffs are great, I have two pair. Only Howard Leight does better at 31 dB. Actually even 19 or 20dB of suppression is usually enough to do the job, short of standing next to a guy firing high power rifle. These days I use electronic muffs with mics that let anything below about 84 dB thru, and give 24dB of suppression above that level.But ear plugs fit the pocket a lot easier, are a lot cheaper, and good ones can offer just about as much protection as muffs. I always take a pair with me when traveling, and keep them in my pocket for when we are doing any speaker testing. Wish I had taken them to the show...but fingers are pretty good too, in a pinch.
