If I recall correctly the maximum Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) for earplugs and earmuffs is around 30db. You can combine the two for a slight increase in hearing protection but you still hit a limit because of bone vibration.

Is there PPE out there to go even further beyond this? Where would it be commonly used?

    It seems like your response was either trying to waste my time by sending me down a rabbit hole to find the information you didn’t provide, or just being lazy and not caring to so much as check what you were posting. In either case i could do without responses like that cluttering my limited time.
