That's the issue, there are no alternatives. The best ear defenders going, even double plugged do not bring a full bore rifle shot to safe levels. The absolute best you can do is about 40db. Assuming you're bald and not wearing safety glasses for a perfect seal. So a 170db rifle shot is now 130 (in reality you'll never do this well) and 130 is still damaging your ears.
