Praxis: Improvised Hearing Protection

Zero of Spartan Tactical and Funker Tactical has a few tricks to share regarding improvised ear pro. Now I long ago discovered that I have 9mm ear canals. One of my buddies has .40 S&W caliber ear canals. They get you a lot of funny looks, this business of two pieces of expended brass sticking out of your ears, but it works. ;-)

Nothing new here, been doing that (in a pinch) for at least 35+ years. Where there is a will there is a way, or necessity is the mother of invention ;-)

They don't work as well as you think. By the time you KNOW it doesn't work, you'll be saying "what" a lot. In case you don't know, the bones surrounding your ears transmit a significant amount of sound too - muffs and earplugs are a good idea.
