Yes, silencers are an effective way to provide hearing protection, with most models providing as much or more sound reduction in decibels (dB) as the most effective over- or in-ear sound protection. Instead of blocking out the sound at your ear, you’re blocking the sound at the muzzle. Silencers give the gas of the gunshot ample space to expand, while using various means to slow down, trap, and redirect the gasses inside so they’ve dropped as much pressure and temperature as possible when the gases exit the muzzle. Attaching a silencer to your firearm is a substantial improvement when you’re hunting, target shooting, or otherwise engaging with your firearm. By attaching a suppressor to your firearm, you’ll have the hearing safety benefits of over-ear hearing protection, without sensory deprivation or the added bulk/weight on your head.
