[QUOTE="RyanBrandon, post: 206444, member: 11702"] Ear protection comes in many different forms, shapes, and sizes, but the main reason why you’d be looking at various options to settle on any type of ear protection is to protect and preserve your hearing. It cannot be emphasized enough that you only have one pair of ears and essentially one sense of hearing of which any inflicted damage to it may be impossible to reverse. Extra special care needs to be taken of your sense of hearing as there are so many of what are now everyday life scenarios which can cause some irreversible damage to your precious sense of hearing. Naturally, though, there are times when you are on the hunt for hearing protection as a matter of convenience, such as earplugs for sleeping to reduce or block out any noise which is preventing you from sleeping. In this case, you’d then naturally be afforded a little bit of leeway in terms of considerations such as the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR). Otherwise, if you’re purely seeking to protect your hearing in situations such as being exposed to gunshots, loud industrial environments, banging concert music or if you’re a motorcyclist, it becomes more than just a matter of convenience. There is less room for experimentation and making use of trial-and-error to find an effective ear protection product. Get it wrong just a couple of times and you can suffer some real long-term to permanent damage which you could have avoided by just being vigilant and taking the necessary steps to protect your hearing.
