You only have two ears and you won’t get any more so take good care of them! If big earmuffs give you anxiety, here’s a pair of high-quality, soft, and reusable earplugs that actually stay in place, unlike many others. For shooting and other loud stuff.
These SureFire earplugs were developed to protect military and law enforcement personnel from harmful sounds, such as gunshots, drill sergeant profanities, and 90s techno. Their noise reduction rating is 24dB but they allow normal conversations to pass through. Their patented EarLock retention rings, which depending on your imagination either look like a Christmas tree or a butt plug, provide a secure fit and all-day comfort.
Even though these are reusable, they aren't undying. The manufacturer promises up to 6+ months of product life, depending on usage and care.
These black earplugs are made of a hypoallergenic medical-grade polymer. In plain language, these shouldn’t make your ears itch or give you pimples.
