Instead you're just sitting in a loud af factory taking more cumulative hearing damage than dozens of "defensive shootings"

Like I said, I need to be able to talk to other techs, and some of them are very hard to understand already because they barely speak English. I can wear foamies under my electronic ear pro if the ear pro allows quiet sounds in, that's fine.

Honestly I hope you buy comtacs and get hearing loss and then have to spend money buying hearing aid batteries every week and say to yourself “well at least I only spent money on a headset once, heh, sure showed those suckers”

Then wear howard leights over foamies

There, done. Like 35 bucks total

Just buy a 3m muff that does noise amp

seriously this has to be the worst case of autism I've ever seen

Theyre, idk, the main company for industrial protection shit

we're telling you to be smart and avoid fucking your hearing

and you aren't listening

3m or msa

fuck it. @Red Korvo go kill yourself

Prob the two biggest

There’s no real economical way to do this shit and get it perfect anyway

suicide is the best option for this nerd

Na he just gotta get bullied into being better

fuck it

mask off

And electronic earpro doesn't "let quiet sounds in", it's literally playing those sounds back to you

True

you could buy comtacs and just walk around with them turned off

It's got a mic on the outside and speaker on the inside basically

Even then they still won’t be excellent

Because tactical headsets are thin

And thin means less insulation

yeah

which is why you double up

Which is why industrial muffs are fucking massive

if you aren't brain damaged

Fer fitting under achs

I thought comtacs would handle moderately loud, constant stuff too. I've literally seen no source that says it's not suitable for that, and all the reviews said they allow conversations while gun fire is going off so I figured it would work for this too. I know they play the sound back, but I thought they only played back quite sounds to counteract the insulation.

If I'm wrong about that, and comtacs + foamies would still fuck my ears, then ok.

What gunshots have you been around that produce a constant droning noise

Rather than staccato peaks

I just thought that if they could handle guns, they could handle machines. What's so different about those two that makes designing ear pro so hard?

They don’t only play back quiet sounds

Since you're not taking reasonable advice, buy one these and double up :^)

They play all sound back

Yeah but they cut out loud sounds right? otherwise, what's the point?

I'll tell you this right now since you don't get it

no
