Reply to comment by turniphat in ELI5. Why do active noise cancelling headphones/earbuds not protect your hearing? by mostofit
Yup, more or less.
I have multiple pairs of active hearing protection for shooting and for work. These are really common and my personal favorite. The only downside I have found is you lose the ability to tell direction of noise very well. It turns "Front left and above me" into just "my left" or "my right" Ironically, even with this downside, I can still hear better with them on vs without them.
They are a must have item for new shooters as they can still hear when giving directions.
