[QUOTE="David2012, post: 1875587, member: 24428"] For hearing protection, electronic ear protecting is the only way to go in my opinion. My local Walmart just marked the Winchester ones down to $19, so I may pick up another pair or two. I paid $25 for the ones I already have. You can turn up the sound so you can hear very well, yet they instantly dampen loud sounds like gun shots. I have several in the house and I use one on the range. Of course not every home invasion situation would allow you the time to put on ear protection. I try to keep one near my bed where I have a .40 pistol. If you turn the volume up, you can hear better than you would think. When I go to the range, it is in a remote area and I'm often there by myself [it is the kind of range where they give you a key to the gate and you can go any time you want]... so I will turn my ear protection volume up enough so that I can hear if anyone drives up behind me while I'm shooting. Last time I went, I had been there a while and started hearing two men talking, I couldn't understand them, I just knew they were there.. I looked around and couldn't see anyone. After a bit, I finally located them... they were at the office building some 100 yrds away to my rear, but their voices were carrying just enough on the warm clear day for the ear protection to pick up and amplify their voices. I thought that was pretty good. [/QUOTE]
