Yo, listen up! A few years back, I realized my hearing was taking a beating from running heavy machinery all day and blasting away at the range on weekends. By my mid-20s, I could tell my ears were already feeling the pain. When I switched to full-time writing and content creation, my shooting time ramped up, and I knew I needed some serious ear pro. So, before dropping the ultimate guide on the best gun range ear protection, I put a ton of products through their paces at my local range, chatted with fellow trigger-happy enthusiasts, and dove deep into online research to bring you the cream of the crop. Trust me, your ears will thank you!
