Another Quick Ear Protection Question

I searched the forum but still want to ask to be sure. If I use nrr 21 earmuffs and along with nrr 32 ear plugs, will I have enough hearing protection for shooting a 12 gauge with a 28" barrel for extended periods of time? What about spending an hour or so at a range near other guns being fired around me? The reason for the 21 muffs if because they're the highest I can find that don't interfere with cheek weld.

NRR 21 + NRR 32 - 5 = combined NRR 48?

Thanks and sorry for similar threads.
 
Probably. Shotguns rarely get louder than 150 DB, and the threshold for damage is about 90 Db, so it's about right.

The poured silicone ear plugs I use are about that by themselves. You may want to look into them. These plus muffs will do the job.....
