Customer photos: Autism and teddy bears
Oh yeah, also a customer photo shows the box; apparently the 26db on the listing is wrong, it's only 20db.

Let's talk normal guns.
Unsuppressed 5.56 is approximately 170 decibels.
Suppressed 5.56 is approximatively 135, give or take the quality of your suppressor.
Most other normal rifles run about the same volume level, give or take. 30/06, .270, 300 win mag, are all going to be in the 160 to 170 DB ballpark.
Little 22. long rifle average velocity runs about 140 DB, high velocity can be closer to 160 DB.
Most pistols are loud. 9mm is plenty loud, not as loud as a rifle, but still 150 to 160 DB. .45 is a little less loud. .357 is stupid loud.
.45 suppressed can be hearing safe, as can 9 mm subsonic and .22's.
Continuous noise of 100 DB is "hearing safe" for approximately 15 minutes
Any noise of 120 DB can cause instant irreversible damage.
Take the numbers above and subtract 26 DB from them to judge how much protection these muffs give you.
As with the other posters... it's plugs and muffs for me unless i'm shooting suppressed pistol, then it's nothing.
26db is good protection. I'd double up plugs and muffs, especially if firing 556 indoors or shooting a lot.
Well.......

My Howard Leight Impact Sport are rated for 22db and have a handy passthrough.
My Peltor Shotgunner are rated for 24db.
Even if these fall short a couple of DB, they should be fine for friends and family shooting with us, especially doubled up with plugs.
