Maybe you have the R-01526 with an NRR 22 rating? Amazon product ASIN B001T7QJ9OThat would depend on where it starts. They all have a noise reduction rating and it reduces the noice a certain amount from the naturals level.
Even then, the ratings should be taken with a grain of salt since this rating is often based on a specific frequency and the frequency used for testing can vary depending on the model and manufacturer.
All that said, I have a set of Howard Lieght electronic ear pro, slimmer profile but don’t remember the exact model, and I’m very happy with them. Have used them for .50 BMG without any issues.

I've tried earplugs with muffs and still find my indoor range very loud. Maybe I have the wrong plugs.The best protection available is almost always foam earplugs if inserted correctly.

I'll have to check out that brand.Peltor
Are you referring to the 82 db?I don't think a blanket statement like that is correct.
They supposedly have an NRR of 30.
I have a couple pairs, and like them.
So that 82 db is somewhat erroneous.That's not exactly how it works. The electronics have a threshold of 82db at which time the sound amplification cuts out. But the actual sound you hear may be louder than that. They have a NNR, noise reduction rating, of 30 compared to 22 NNR for the impact sports. I think that means that they will reduce the sound by 30 db.

Have a source for molded earplugs?For the best protection get custom molded earplugs and then put ear muffs over that.
Foam earplugs must be inserted much further than most people do in order to get the proper effect. If they are out in right, they’re difficult to remove.

But they do nothing for that sensitive bone behind the ear that is also part of the hearing.
I've been using the Howard Leight airsoft earplugs and an inexpensive set of ear muffs. The earplugs are very good along with the muffs and block out enough sound that I can't hear conversation at all but gun noise is still very loud. I just need something better.Instead of spending money on the bestest ear muffs, I just double up with foam plugs and noise canceling muffs.
