A little off topic but any word on using them off the range?
Dad operates the table saw/miter saw quite alot and while the foam inserts are not effective the other the ear ones are very effective and sometimes I have to wave him off to get his attention. Do you think these might be the solution?
The local store only sells EP4s. I'm going to order EP3s because the bigger size is too much for my ears. My big head doesn't translate to big ear canals.
When inserted properly, which is all the way in, they allow so much sound to come through is insane. They reduce everything over 80 dbs to 80 dbs.
While firing a Glock 31 and an M16 they dropped their dbs so well I could shot the weapons and hear people yelling.
Don't ask why people were yelling, shooting was more important.
An operator can hear people talking normally and shot his weapon safely. Nothing compares. Quit using foam or muffs, they block EVERYTHING.
It would make his saw and your voice (given you speak at 80dbs) the same. If you yelled at 80 dbs and his saw was emitting 120 dbs, he would hear you the same as the saw and be very comfortable doing it.
