The scene involved Baldwin’s character removing a gun from its holster and pointing it toward the camera. The trio behind the monitor were two feet (0.6 m) from the muzzle of the firearm and none of them were wearing protective gear such as noise-canceling headphones or safety goggles.
The trio behind the monitor began repositioning the camera to remove a shadow, and Baldwin began explaining to the crew how he planned to draw the firearm. He said, “So, I guess I’m gonna take this out, pull it, and go, ‘Bang!’” When he removed it from the holster, the revolver discharged a single time.
Halls was quoted by his attorney Lisa Torraco as saying that Baldwin did not pull the trigger, and that Baldwin’s finger was never within the trigger guard during the incident.
This would be David Halls, the assistant director.
On a film set I would expect anyone in ear protection like that to use the kind with either external sound amplification (mic on the outside, speaker on the inside, so they are headphones) and/or with wireless audio transmission (bluetooth/etc, speaker on the inside, so still headphones)

Since… about a decade ago? Noise cancellation/reduction has been an available feature in earmuffs marketed to firearms users for a while now.
