Passive Hearing Protection

Can Passive Ear Protection Be Worn With Other Forms of Protective Equipment?

Yes, passive hearing protection can be worn with other forms of protective equipment, such as eyewear and hats. In fact, it&#;s important to wear all forms of protective equipment together to ensure maximum protection from potential hazards. 

When selecting passive hearing protection, it&#;s important to consider how it will work with other forms of protective equipment. For example, earmuffs may not fit well over certain types of eyewear or hats, so it may be necessary to choose a different type of passive hearing protection, such as earplugs. If you are wanting high levels of protection, wearing earplugs underneath over ear passive ear protection will give you an extra level of hearing protection.  According to the US EPA this double protection increases attenuation by seven decibels.

It&#;s also important to ensure that all forms of protective equipment fit well and do not interfere with each other. Equipment that doesn&#;t fit properly or is uncomfortable to wear may be less effective at providing protection and may be more likely to be removed or adjusted during use, increasing the risk of injury. 

Overall, wearing passive hearing protection in conjunction with other forms of protective equipment can help to ensure maximum protection during shooting and hunting activities.
