🧒 Kids benefit from earmuffs that are safe, comfy, and fun to wear, but keep an eye on the volume!
🎶 Teens and young adults should consider foam or high-fidelity earplugs, especially at festivals or loud events.
👵 Older adults can protect their hearing with custom earplugs or noise-canceling headphones.
🎯 Hunters and musicians may want advanced options like electronic protection or musicians’ earplugs.
