And people think sound suppressors are only for assassins. What if I just want to do some target shooting without blowing out my ear drums? It's a valid reasoning.
They really should call them dampeners, because you still need hearing protection while using a silencer
No you do not, that’s the point. Especially if shooting subsonic ammo through a suppressor.

Ear protection.
