WHY YOU NEED EARBUDS TO PROTECT YOUR HEARING?
From the range to the hunt, ear protection is essential for shooters - and we've got the top 5 earbuds to help you stay safe and sound.
Exposure to loud sounds can harm the delicate structures within your inner ear, leading to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) and tinnitus—often experienced as persistent ringing, roaring, or buzzing in the ears. The louder the noise, the quicker it can cause permanent damage to your hearing.
Hearing damage can occur in an instant. For example, the sound of a gunshot at close range can cause immediate and irreversible harm. Other extremely loud noises can lead to hearing loss in less than 15 minutes. Prolonged exposure to repetitive loud noises, such as machinery at a worksite, can gradually result in hearing loss over time.
HOW LOUD IS A GUNSHOT?
Most gunshots produce sound levels between 150 and 170 dB, depending on the firearm's caliber, and at these volumes, hearing damage can happen almost instantly. The proximity of the firearm to our ears, especially when shouldering a shotgun or rifle, amplifies the risk. Even in hunting scenarios where shots are infrequent, wearing hearing protection is crucial to prevent permanent hearing loss. It’s clear that just one unprotected shot can cause immediate hearing damage.
It's always wise to wear hearing protection at the range. We've compiled a list of some of the best options for your reference.
