Never looked at ratings, always assumed muff were better. Thanks Rob.
On the flight deck of an aircraft carrier and on the flight line, we had to wear earmuffs (Micky Mouse Ears) for protection. Must of us wore ear plugs as well as the Mickey Mouse Ears.
On the range, I use ear plugs as well as earmuffs.
I’m 78 and have excellent hearing due to the extra protection.
