PROHEAR 016 Slim Passive Shooting Earmuffs: quick answers

Protection: NRR 26 dB on the package (SNR 31 dB in Europe). A lab figure: NRR explained shows how OSHA reads it.
Power: No battery: passive cups and foam do the work.
Options: 7 colors plus 5 two-color options, 2 pad types, 2 pack sizes.

The 016 is our slim passive muff for the range. The cups are slim and cut low at the back, so a rifle stock meets your cheek instead of the shell, and there is nothing inside to charge: foam and a sealed housing do the work, rated NRR 26 dB.

You pick from seven colors and two-color 2-packs, so a range partner never grabs your pair by mistake. The band folds, the cushions snap out, and if you shoot in glasses the gel pad option seals better around the temple arms.

Every shooting & hunting model sits in the PROHEAR selection; the numbers on this page come from the model’s own box and spec sheet.

This is general information about hearing protection, not medical or safety advice. The rating printed on the package, a proper fit and your employer's hearing conservation rules come first; see a doctor or an audiologist about ringing or a change in hearing.

What the public sources say

EPA, 40 CFR Part 211 Subpart B: Hearing Protective Devices. Requires the Noise Reduction Rating on the package, measured to ANSI S3.19-1974, and gives the label range as approximately 0 to 30. Read October 4, 2026.
NIOSH, Reducing Exposure to Lead and Noise at Indoor Firing Ranges (Pub. 2010-113). Measured firearm peaks of 155 to 168 dB and recommends earplugs and earmuffs together at the range. Read October 4, 2026.
NIOSH, Provide Hearing Protection. Notes that earmuffs can interfere with eye protection and some eyeglasses, and suggests plugs and muffs together for 100 dBA and above or for impulse sounds. Read October 4, 2026.
OSHA, 1910.95 Appendix B: Methods for estimating the adequacy of hearing protector attenuation. For A-weighted readings, subtract 7 dB from the NRR; the estimate holds only for a protector that is properly fitted and worn. Read October 4, 2026.

How much noise does the PROHEAR 016 Slim Passive Shooting Earmuffs block?

Its Noise Reduction Rating is 26 dB, measured in a lab to ANSI S3.19-1974. On a real head a muff usually blocks less than the lab figure: OSHA subtracts 7 dB from the NRR when noise is measured in dBA, and NIOSH now recommends checking the protection each wearer actually gets. Our NRR guide walks through both.
