I was thinking along these lines. My electronic muffs even have an audio-in jack, so you can plug the phone in and eliminate the ear buds completely. These ones Howard Leight Impact Pro 30dB NR Their regular ones are only 22 db NR.
Also, these muffs have much better NR ratings than many cheaper ones, yet are quite a bit cheaper than many not as good. Works like normal muffs when turned off, or if the battery is dead.
I use these sometimes turned way up, with foam plugs. When someone shoots, the muffs clamp down, of course, but you also have in plugs. Pretty quiet, but you can hear commands or warnings. You still conduct sound through your skull though. Only solution at that point is to replace your brain with cement!
