Hunters And Shooters Can Indeed Protect Their Ears From Damaging Noise

1. Hunters And Shooters Can Indeed Protect Their Ears From Damaging Noise Every hunter, every shooter, has experienced the effects of loud noise such as gun and rifle fire on their hearing. Therefore, hearing protection for shooting sports and related activities is often discussed by individuals and groups that spend time around rifles, guns, and pistols. In many cases, these individuals enjoy shooting for recreational purposes whereas other shooters use firearms in their career, such as those in the military or law enforcement. THE DANGERS OF NOISE THAT HUNTERS AND SHOOTERS ARE EXPOSED TO It is common knowledge that very loud sounds can cause severe damage to one’s hearing, such as having to deal with loud gun and rifle shots at the range where you may be taking part in a competition, or during an outing into the bush as you stalk elk, deer or other prey. Tinnitus, or constant ringing sounds in the ear, for example, is a well-known effect of exposure to one’s ears of loud, banging sounds such as those produced when shots are fired. There is also the often-mentioned NIHL, i.e., Noise- Induced Hearing Loss, which is the result of exposing your ears to high noise levels. These conditions may develop over time, or they could be brought on immediately, even by a single occurrence when, for example, a gunshot is fired right at your ear. And in most cases, this is an irreversible situation. Therefore, every hunter and shooter should seriously consider acquiring hearing protection for shooting activities. TYPES OF HEARING PROTECTION •The first type of hearing protection you get is the disposable earplug. You use this plug once and then discard it, even though many hunters and shooters may use them more often before they throw them out. They are normally offered as either wax or foam plugs and present the least sophisticated earplugs on the market. The wax plug cannot be used more than, say, five times whereas the foam plugs may last you up to ten uses. Both of these serve an important purpose as they block out sound when you are firing, which means they protect your ears from damaging noise. But they are, even though they do have positive qualities, the least developed earplugs. •The second option is the earmuff, which is already one step up from the disposable plug. These are not inserted into the ear; instead, they are worn on the head and cover the ears so that loud noise is blocked out, thereby offering protection for one’s hearing during those times that loud noise could pose a threat to your ability to enjoy good hearing.

2. Some of these act like disposable earplugs, which means they block out all sound, whereas others offer advanced features such as, say, being able to amplify softer sounds such as voices but at the same time muffling those noises that could cause damage to your hearing. •The third, and technologically most advanced, type is the custom-fit ear plug which fits snugly in the ear and offers the best features for hunters shooters, and other individuals who are looking for maximum protection for their ears. This is an earplug that is normally made only as per a customer’s request – by leading service providers in America and elsewhere. They let you control the sound, and they eliminate those sounds that lead to damage to your hearing, while they still allow normal sounds, at acceptable dB (decibel) through. This is great for hunters and shooters since it means that you can hear the sounds such as mates’ voices around you, or an animal moving through the bush, but not those sounds that will damage your hearing.
