Does hearing protection "wear out"? Do ear muffs get to a point where they don't seal so well around the ears? Lately I've noticed my hearing protection doesn't seem to work so well anymore. I am wearing more "stuff" under my ear muffs (hat to deflect brass, safety glasses over my perscription glasses), but it seems to be getting worse. I double up with plugs like I always have, but lately I'm hearing other people's shots more and sometimes getting slight ringing and headaches at the range. Any thoughts / advice?
Any advice as to top-quality hearing protection is appreciated; thanks in advance.
