Ok, I misunderstood your comments.
I thought you were saying something different. while they may not be pretty, I can tell you from first hand experience and as someone who has significant hearing loss from continued exposure to loud noises (artillery, mortars, rockets, machine guns, small arms (incoming and outgoing!)in combat over 4 years worth and not always able to or practical to have hearing protection) that sound attenuation now is of the utmost importance to me to preserve what little hearing I have left. While max protection ear muffs and ear plugs help, a suppressor does add a much greater level of hearing protection and preservation to the equation, especially when used in conjunction with hearing protection.
