Hearing Protection as Sensory Input Reduction

[Bob McDowell]

This is only a semi-shooting related question, but I need experts, so here I be...

My son has difficulty with loud noises and getting overloaded by sound in general. I had the idea of ear muffs today, and Amazon thought I was talking about shooting equipment. So I thought, hey, maybe I am...

Shooters, is there a type/brand of hearing protection one might use as a sort of reverse hearing aide? Where you can dial down the volume levels of the real world without losing the ability to hear and understand someone speak?


Thanks in advance, Bob
