Why NRR 33 Matters for Tactical Shooting

An NRR 33 rating gives substantial protection from impulse noise produced by gunfire. For shooters working with pistols, rifles, or suppressed systems, higher attenuation reduces the risk of permanent hearing damage and fatigue during long training sessions. These plugs are single-use foam with a high-performance polyurethane that compresses for easy insertion then expands to form a consistent seal.

Design and Comfort Features

The bell shape design reduces contact pressure in the ear canal, making these plugs comfortable for extended wear under earmuffs or helmets. The corded configuration keeps plugs accessible between strings of fire and decreases the chance of losing them on the line. The smooth, soil-resistant skin helps keep the surface clean and lowers maintenance concerns in dusty environments.

Practical Applications and Pricing

Use these plugs for range practice, tactical instruction, law enforcement qualification, and any situation where a compact, disposable option is preferable. The product is listed at $6.99, offering an affordable solution for bulk use across a team or training class. The brand Howard Leight is known for hearing protection across civilian and professional markets, and the model listing as Various indicates availability across multiple package counts and configurations.

Selection Tips from a Tactical Perspective

Choose single-use foam plugs like these when hygiene, high attenuation, and low profile are priorities. Pair with electronic earmuffs for hearing protection that preserves communication, or use them alone for quick drills. The corded option is specifically useful when you need to remove and reinsert plugs frequently without setting them down.
