Hearing protection, Whats is your preferance?

[dieseltech09]

Go to your local audiologist and get fitted for plugs with a compression valve. They allow for normal conversation and have around a 24 NRR. I've had mine for years and I love them!

BTW: my wife is an audiologist and this is what she got me and our kids.

Patrick, does your wife have an office in Edmond?

Sordin Supreme Pro-X's Worth every freaking penny, especially with the gel ear seals.

Surefire plugs are good too.


The classic foamies are cheap and effective but a bit of a PITA.

Plugs and Muffs on the line. Elec. muffs or plugs in the field. Yes, I am anal about my hearing protection, but I can also hear really well after 30yrs of shooting...except when my wife is talking to me, for some reason I just have this annoying buzz when that happens.

I still use the ol throw-away foam plugs. Never used anything else.

Plugs and muffs for me.
I've tried electronic protection - but hearing non-directional voices was driving me crazy.

I usually use Peltor reversable plugs...but starting to look at some of the electronic stuff.

I use plugs and muffs when I am around center fire rifle or pistol. Plugs when shooting .22 rifle, at Red Castle I don't get out of the car without ear plugs in.

I have been using ear plugs for all yard work for at least 15 yrs. After 30 plus years of working in the areo industry my ears ring constantly ,yes I use plugs at work also.

Hearing damage is accumulative ....protect yourselves and the people you shoot with.

Just got a pair of molded plugs with a baffle, can't wait to try them out. I usually use muffs with pistols and plugs with long guns for the aforementioned reasons. (stock weld)

Outdoors I use the SureFire EP6s. They work great, they are lightwieght and comfotable. When indoors I use a combo of plugs and muffs. I use the Peltor H6A. Again they are cheap and lightweight. I have used the EP6s indoors by tehm selves and they work just fine, but normally I double up.

I use Peltor electronic for the light stuff, and Remington 31db and plugs for heavy stuff. Looking into the MSA.
