Protect Your Hearing Every Time You Shoot
Whether you’re at the range, out busting clays, or deep in the woods tracking game, hearing protection is not optional—it’s essential.
At 31 M Armory, we believe responsible shooters protect more than just their accuracy—they protect their long-term health. And that starts with safeguarding your hearing every time you pull the trigger.
How Loud Is a Gunshot?
Most shooters underestimate just how damaging firearms can be to your ears.
- Gunshots typically measure 140–175 decibels
- Permanent hearing damage can begin at 85 decibels
- Even one unprotected shot can cause irreversible harm
Unlike other injuries, hearing damage is cumulative and permanent—once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
The Hidden Risks of Shooting Without Hearing Protection
Failing to use proper hearing protection can lead to:
🔊 Tinnitus
A constant ringing or buzzing in your ears that never goes away.
🧠 Reduced Situational Awareness
Especially dangerous in hunting or tactical environments.
🗣️ Difficulty Hearing Conversations
Gradual hearing loss affects everyday life—not just shooting.
⚠️ Permanent Nerve Damage
Once your hearing is damaged, it cannot be restored.
Choosing the Right Hearing Protection for Shooting
Not all ear protection is created equal. The right choice depends on how and where you shoot.
🎯 Range Shooting
- Continuous exposure to loud gunfire
- Best option: High-NRR earmuffs or double protection (plugs + muffs)
🌲 Hunting & Field Use
- Need to hear subtle environmental sounds
- Best option: Electronic/digital hearing protection
Modern electronic ear protection gives you the best of both worlds: protection from gunfire + enhanced hearing for quiet sounds.
