Is it sufficient to hear 30 blasts of the shofar on Rosh Hashana?

The Rav Name:

Shalom Da’at Institute Rabbis,
I have a young baby and it’s hard for me to be away from home for a long period of time. Is it sufficient to hear 30 blows of the Shofar in synagogue, or must one remain to hear 100? Is this the Halachic law or “hiddur mitzvah” (enhancement)?
