If you are a shooting enthusiast, be it for sport shooting, just visiting the shooting range or hunting, you know how loud a shot can be. Therefore, ear protection is one of the most important pieces of equipment that you must take with you.

Ultranexus knows this better than anybody, this is why they provide their customers with only the best protection on the market: Earmor.

You should wear ear protection for several reasons:

• Gunfire can cause permanent hearing damage or hearing loss
• To increase your focus and not get distracted by other shooters
• It is a regulatory compliance at gun ranges

How harmful can gunshot noise be?

Prolonged exposure to 85dB can cause hearing loss. This is equivalent to a noisy restaurant, heavy traffic or power tools. Sirens, fireworks and gunshots are in the range of 120 dB, this is when immediate harm can occur over a short period of exposure. Finally, 140 dB can cause immediate irreversible hearing damage.

To put this in perspective, here are the noise levels of the most common weapons:

• .375 rifle can reach around 170 to 180 dB
• .458 rifle can reach around 170 to 180 dB
• .30.06 rifle can reach around 160 to 170 dB
• .223 rifle can reach around 155 to 165 dB
• .243 rifle can reach around 155 to 165 dB
• 9mm handgun can reach around 160 dB
• .308 rifle can reach around 150 to 160 dB
• 12-Guage shotgun can reach around 150 to 160 dB
