My personal experience , backed by serial audiograms as well as subjective results, has made me a huge fan of it. I wish I had them still. I'd scan them in. 2 weeks post trauma, I had a 30ish db notch at 6khz. My family md would not proscribe the aggressive regimen I asked for, so I went to an audiologist who would, after no treatment for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks of aggressive steroid treatment, that had shrank to 15db. This was done by a professional audiologist in a sound chamber (or whatever you call that room).
My hearing has always sucked, as my parents didnt understand these things. A .357 shooting session without pro as a child wasnt a good idea. I got older, learned better, but things still happen, etc.
Ymmv kn the steroids, but I personally, as a case study of one, an a fan.
*obviously this is for acute situations, not chronic. I doubt in chronic situations it would do anything other than cause gi upset.

I always double up as well. SF plugs and Howard Leight's. I think it's especially important/effective indoors or when shooting any kind of long gun, which depending on the stock, can push the muff off the ear when mounting the gun.
Have you seen the NoiseFighters eyepro-cut gel cups for Howard Leights?
