I wear ear plugs and 34 decibel muffs, and as others have stated, even thats not enough; however, it is the best you can currently do.
Part of the problem is that, even with muffs, sound can get in through the muffs and through your bones around your ear.
I would gladly contribute to a fund for someone to create a totally encapsulated helment that a shooter would wear as hearing protection. It would be like a motorcycle helment and would provide complete protection, thus preventing as much sound and vibration from penetrating to the shooter. Sure, people would think it’s weird at first, but a stylish design can help promote acceptance; and as more people wore it, it would become normal. My hearing means a lot to me, and I’d gladly wear a helment, if the helment would be the ultimate ear protection.
