[QUOTE="p238shooter, post: 3294230, member: 24583"] 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 [/QUOTE]
