@@riyasethi Ear plugs in combination with range ear muffs over the plugs in your ear. Makes a world of a difference protecting your hearing even with 5.56 platforms in-doors.
@@The_Unkn0wn_5.0 can confirm. I was wearing a single pair of ear protection headphones and a dude with an m249 was shooting next to me. Indoors. That thing sounded like a cannon when shooting, and it was just 5.56. Wear double!
This guys right. Indoor shooting is a exponentially louder. Not to mention your eye pro, or hat sometimes don’t give you a great seal with the over the ear muffs. Double up foams and muffs
You can also keep your ear protection by your home defense firearm. It takes very little time to put on. Keeping your hearing in a home defense situation could be vital, especially if there’s more than one intruder to engage.
But you... would be able to hear them, would you? Like it blocks out the noisesof the guns and whatnot but you wouldn't be able to hear their footstpes/where they are coming from, right?
Why are you tacted up to make a RU-vid short in the closet? Are you in the backroom at the range or something? And that's not what tue dial is for on Razor Slims. It doesn't change the amount of noise prosection, it's just an ambient sound dial for talking to people with them on. Dial at max or dial at zero, your sound dampening of gunshots is going to be tue same. Razor slims actually have a pretty cool feature where if you have the dial on, they'll cutout the loud noises like gunshots instead of transmitting it into the ambient noise speaker.
Didn't answer the question and doesn't understand how the earmuff works. The question was about why it's not used when actively fighting i.e. whenever you see footage of cops/military they almost never wear ear protection. The earmuff works by reflecting and absorbing the sound from some frequencies on its mass. The scroller thing is just a volume knob because that earmuff happens to have a microphone on the outside with a speaker in the inside so it can pick talk and other noises and normalize them all at a decent sound level so you can have heightened awareness, it has nothing to do with the protection. Also these "combat" earmuffs that you find online hover around 26dB and below which is not nearly enough for good protection, the bulky construction/industrial ones are way better. You should still wear earplugs below them. Even then with every shot as long as we're not talking subsonic supressed, you will get ear damage because the protection is not nearly enough, if you shoot a bullet you're also shooting yourself, everytime. 3M Peltor X5A and Honeywell Verishield VS130D are industrial ones that you can find for cheap and are better than every 1000$ and below earmuffs you can find as long as we are not talking military graded since these I don't even have access to do research on.
And you aren’t likely to get in more then let’s say 5 shootouts in your career that’s usually pushing it too but hey maybe you just saw a whole lot of acton and during each you aren’t likely ti fire more then 2 mags of you likely 9mm handgun or 1 mag 223 rifle so it will effect your hearing but not substantially
It's to protect you from more damage then you should normally get. Yes, you're not gonna use them on the front lines, but you can save your ears at least a little by wearing protection while training, I guess.
@@aloafofpotatoes5139 military actually does use ear protection that works as a radio too and amplifies regular sounds in their surroundings while suppressing sounds past a certain decibel
We use ear protection any time we have a gun on us that we might fire. I.e during training or operation. Our helmets even have integrated headsets. That serve both as active hearing protection that uses white noise (-25/-30db protection) aswell as communication with the squad and hearthrough using two microphones that amplify normal sounds and quiet ones but block out the loud ones. When we have them activated we hear talking and low sounds like footsteps better than without it. But the bang from the gun is not loud enough to be painful or damaging. In a way we are better protected that police officers in terms of our hearing. We are also recommended to always wear ear protection to stop gunpowder etc getting in the eyes... But we usually don't, you don't see that well with them on
I desperately need to know which headset that is. I can’t find any help online. I have a headset plus 32dba foam and it’s worthless. I need something for power washing that actually works.
what is that small rectangular thing on the upper right side of your chest with the red letters "AD"? on it? And would is that black tubular thing strapped to the tome of that tan chest device you are wearing?
My prediction ( witch is true or should be😮 ) Is because an officers job is to serve and protect meaning the officer or whatever rank they got only need to discharge their firearm if they need to eliminate a threat witch is not expected plus your not expecting to call shots fired so you don't really have any headphones Edit: I haven't watched your videos in a while so you are an police personal right?
Yeah I think if your a cop they should make you do your weapons qualifications without earpro, what happens when you go out to a call and have to use ur rifle or god for bid a shotgun ur gonna shit ur pants bc u haven’t ever heard your rifle or shotgun without earpro, I’ve intentionally shot 3 rounds from 556 as if there was a threat with no ear pro on my private range so I have an idea how loud it would be in a home defense situation same with my 12 ga
@@Tap_rack5.56it has nothing to do with being soft. Everything to do with not wanting to go deaf which can happen even after one range session without earpro you can have permanent hearing loss. It’s happened. But more specifically you’ll definitely have permanent hearing loss if you do this with any regularity. You’re useless as a cop if you’re out on the streets deaf all because you had to be Billy Badass without earpro at the range.
a gun range is a controlled environment where wearing ear protection is safe and something you should do. In a scenario where an officer is on duty its much safer for them to not have muffled hearing, if you muffle an officers hearing you're making the officer less effective if they need to be at the top of their game. also in a gun range you'll hear LOTS more shots go off than if you were to witness a live shooting. Also in a live shooting the gun shots wont be condensed into one place unlike the firing line of a gun range. Its kinda like why radiologists stand behind a protective shield when doing X-rays, its not that the X-ray will kill them its that they're just avoiding unnecessary radiation
Because obviously you don't want hurt your hearing. Comparing to consistent routine shooting to once in a lifetime occurrence where you required to use your firearm in an emergency, which you probably don't mind a bit of hearing damage if you can save your life.
The reason for this is that, when you’re at a range, you’re exposed to loud shooting noise constantly for as long as you’re at the range. However, in a shoot out, the officer is not likely to be exposed to an hour or longer of constant gunshots around him. Shoot outs are probably over much quicker on average than a trip to the gun range. So basically, prolonged exposure to gunshots (range) will require ear protection, whereas small duration shoot outs might not, and it isn’t ideal to wear ear protection in a shoot out as it blocks out other audio spatial noises as well.
I don’t care how little time it takes to put earpro on if I’m responding to a shooting or in a home invasion I’m just gonna go without it. It’s only a few minutes at most of gunfire
@@ZerolinGDHe do though. To protect his hearing at the range. Your exposed to constant gunfire there which will damage your hearing. It’s infeasible to put on hearing protection in the middle of a shootout. It’s pretty self explanatory.
@@AdamBucky21 ok but he didn't say that in the video lol... why are you saying he answered the question when he didn't? You just explained the part that was not explained/answered in the video.
I'm not gonna lie, I definitely use hearing protection at the range, but EVERY NOW AND THEN I like to give my ears a real check.... I know it sounds unconventional, but if I were to ever have to use my gun in a self defense situation (God forbid) I don't wanna be shook from how loud it is, I wanna know what I will be expecting and I wanna know how to brace my ears correctly
today i shot my DB380 in a enclosed room without ear protection or eye protection, as much as i was scared. i knew that doing so i would over come that fear and know if i was in a self defense shooting i wouldn’t have ear protection or eye protection. when i had shot the first round i’m not gonna lie my right ear rang for 3 seconds and it was more louder then i expected. but wanna know the best part? i got rid of my fear and it felt pretty cool! if your going to the shooting range to have fun, wear eye and ear protection, but if your going shooting for self defense at the range, don’t wear eye and ear protection. you’ll be to scared when you do shoot it, as a 16 year old male, i am disappointed in these grown men too scared of a noise that’s basically just a firecracker or firework, one or two shots ain’t gonna hurt your ears that bad besides outdoor will even be quieter. Be a man people, you’ll be fine without it.
That is true. When your scared the energy rush, turns off the pain scepters in your brain because the brain can’t process pain and fear at the same time which will make the gun not as loud.
@@aladdingames6557 and yes that too, people don’t wear ear protection when they light fireworks? hell some fireworks are a little louder than a pistol caliber. and even a rifle caliber! but generally they’re the same decibel level.
As an old jarhead, MOS 0331 (M-60 gunner) I can tell you that 4 years of shooting a 7.62 with either barely any ear protection -yellow styrofoam “plugs”-or zero protection is not good. HUH? 🤷🏻🫡🙉
