If I recall correctly the maximum Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for earplugs and earmuffs is around 30db. You can combine the two for a slight increase in hearing protection but you still hit a limit because of bone vibration.

Is there PPE out there to go even further beyond this? Where would it be commonly used?

    Thing is, you didn’t care to respond. You let an AI respond for you cause you wanted to comment despite having nothing to say on the subject.

      I did not. Read it. It is a quote from the article after I verified the reference. It is a toxic bias of group think fools that take no time to read past what they want to see.
