Do you really need ear protection? Well that depends, are you good with only having four of your five senses? Or perhaps you want to have a constant buzzing in your ears until you die like a pesky fly that never leaves the room. Take it from a guy who brought chronic tinnitus back from Afghanistan. You only get one set of ears so you better take care of them. 

Soft foam ear plugs are better than nothing, but they fall out at the worst time. And if they get wet from rain or sweat, they can suction into your head like a sponge. Ask me how I know. 

Passive ear muffs are okay, but when you're on a range trying to learn from an instructor, electronic ears are the way to go. The smart technology in these bad boys will suppress the gunfire and leave the rest, even amplifying conversation level sounds. Get yourself a pair today. You deserve the very best.
