[QUOTE="NationalMatch, post: 3931290, member: 48586"] I have some old Walker rechargeable electronic ear plugs. NRR is rated at 31dB. Let's say, I go varmint hunting with my .223 with 18" barrel. According to my research, the gun/load produces 155.5dB. That means that 124.5dB of noise reaches my ears. Whether or not I actually fire the gun when I go hunting varies. Usually, I don't. If I do, it's just going to be one or two shots. Assuming one actually installs the plugs correctly (unlike what we might see in the movies where they have plugs installed diagonally), the above set up (gun that produces 155.5dB and plugs that reduce noise to ears by 31dB) should be safe?
