New to shooting, fearful of ear damage

[u/macmuaythai]

Interested and excited to start this hobby/pastime. But am fearful of the damage to ears, I already purchased some walker xcel 500 headphones for outdoor shooting and was going to double up. Wondering if there is anything else I can do or if I should just not worry

Simple ear protection is enough. I’d only double up if you’re going to an indoor range, even then it’s not needed. I recommend any electronic noise canceling. My headphones have high power microphones so I can hear lower DB sounds very well. I can hear bees buzzing at 75 yds but gunshots are low

Walker Razor. Bought a couple years ago. I’ve used lots of their products and they’re all good
