Using electronic muffs while wearing foam plugs?

[Walkalong]

I have more hearing loss from "cumulative" damage than the instant damage kind. I wish I could go back in time and start wearing ear muffs during any loud noises, chainsaws, screw chillers, lawn mowers, etc, etc.

Sure, we need to wear hearing protection shooting, but there is a lot more to potential hearing loss than just shooting.

Yep. I used to work for my father in one of his construction companies. Things like, operating the bulldozer all day long (before hearing protection) and my ears ringing all night long. Including hearing the incessant back up alarm all night long.

If only we knew then what we know now.

I looked at them, based upon your recommendation, online.

Those things actually fit underneath muffs?

Sorry for the late reply.
Yes, look at them on the surefire site and you will see them as they are in the ear. I'm talking the $15 version without a lanyard.

Ok I just tested foam ear plugs (3M yellow) with my Walker Ultimate Alpha electronic muffs for low level sound quality. With the volume all the way up it was very close to what unprotected sounds like. Slightly muffled and maybe 10% quieter but I was able to hear the TV clearly and hear the wife ask me what the heck I was doing with muffs on in the house. It was crystal clear. No static or distortion.

Sorry but if the wife is 'asking' there is .

I wear a set of walkers muffs when I go hunting because I've been quiet happy with the sound amplification of quiter noises and blocking of louder noises.

Same, wish I’d worn foam earplugs for the 58 years or so I’ve been riding motorcycles.

Just the wind whistling by my ears at 70+mph was enough, cumulatively, to cause much of the hearing damage I have. Being told by range officers early in my career that cigarette filters in my ears were sufficient didn’t help either.
