The Razor Slim's cut-away profile answered the second question so well that \"slim electronic muff\" became a category, and its ~82 dB compression threshold handles the first — impulse noise is clamped while everything below passes through amplified.

A dead battery still leaves passive protection, but amplification gone quiet can tempt users to remove the muff: carry spares. Indoor ranges and magnum calibers push impulse peaks toward the top of the 140–165 dB band — many shooters double up with foam plugs under electronic muffs there.
