I responded to a post in the Over Ear forum, but figured I should post here.
I'm a new shooter and want to protect my hearing. I've heard good things about the Peltor line and even better things about the Sordins, but had an idea...
I've always wanted a nice set of Noble CIEMs but didn't think they'd be worth the cost to me given that when I'm using a portable rig, I'm mostly listening to Joe Rogan podcasts. Figured that would be a waste of stellar equipment. However, if the seal from a custom IEM would provide enough hearing protection, without having to wear a bulky over ear cup that could get in the way, maybe this a route that can work.
Where I was thinking of taking the idea a step further was that maybe there is then a device (or app?) that you could pair up with the CIEMs to mimic the Peltor/Sordin technology? For those unaware, they don't cancel all noise, they are designed to get rid of the sharp crack of the weapon firing, but let through, or even amplify, voices. This way you protect your hearing, but can still hear your instructor or fellow shooter's voices.
TL;DR can CIEMs + device/app = the ultimate in hearing protection while yielding sonic music benefits?
