As a counterpoint..I've worked with MWDs, the dog muffies are for C2 and to protect the hearing, you don't really need a dogs total hearing capability smell and their ability to operate in tighter confined spaces and to control people etc is just as important, so trade off are made, less senitivity in hearing.View attachment 211040

first of all you need to understand the working of dog's ears.
Unlike humans, whose hearing range is 20 Hz to 20000 Hz dogs can hear as low as 4000 Hz so what @JConline talked about i.e amplification : dogs don't need that. Unlike humans, dogs hearing ability aren't enchanced by comtacs.
Coming to second part, cutting the disruptive sound, there are already equipments present in the market that are fit for this role, and it costs much lower than your comtacs.

These are special cloths that block loud sound.
If your special forces have andha paisa, sure go for special caliberated comtacs. Train your dogs to get in tune with those devices but practical use of such devices for dogs is zero.
