What kind of hearing protection do you use when shooting?
I use a Liberty foam DuraPlugs andHoward Leight amplifying ear muffs.
Depends. If I'm just shooting pistols I'll wear ear muffs, if I'm shooting my AR I'll put in ear plugs. Right now I'm using the foam plugs but I'm looking into the form fitting plugs.
I spent years as pro musician and pretty much ruined my ears with bad ear plugs and cant afford to lose any more so I get custom pcs from this place the last few years... https://www.decibullz.com/
Cool! Tapped the link and saw few beautiful earplugs ..would purchase one one of these days ..Thanks Man!
At an indoor range I use Howard Leight foam plugs plus a set of muffs.

Older guy here, been around race cars, loud motorcycles, loud music, flying airplanes, construction equipment, shooting, etc. before we knew ear protection might help us long term. I have Tendinitis, now being exposed to loud sounds cause more ringing for a while. I have since started typically using ear muffs or the foam ear plugs while shooting and other activities, like my 5 hour mows in my yard.
I had purchased a cheap Harbor Freight noise cancelling headset for another use. Worked well, yep a little fragile, slam it down and the batteries pop out. but at $15 a set I have a backups handy. I decided to try them so I could easily communicate with a new shooter. I found them to function very well up to and including an AR15 while easily allowing common conversation in between with no additional ear ringing on my end. One pair is a little over center actually amplifying, can hear grass crunching under my feet as I walk I could not hear without them. I am sure more expensive brands are more rugged, but for me, they would not offer any additional hearing protection I might need. They are great if you have other shooters around that might need to be paying attention or not realize someone was about to shoot. JMO

I use walker amplified earbuds but only because I won them in a raffle. I’ll say that they are nice, but I wouldn’t have paid the 300 price tag. For the duration of 90% of my shooting my inexpensive amplified muffs are sufficient. If I get back into hunting especially when it’s warm, I imagine I’ll really like the buds.

I wear radians jelly plugs and amplified muffs. I dig those jellies. Comfortable and do a fantastic job cutting noise at concerts.
