[QUOTE="aebhunter, post: 1001132, member: 72979"] I have pretty severe tinnitus and have been through about every combo of hearing protection you can think of that is under 500 bucks. Right now my go to is a set of old fashioned foam plugs underneath a set of ProEars. If I am shooting a bunch I wear foam plugs under a set of 26 NRR muffs. I make sure the foams are properly inserted and the muffs are tight. You hear a slight clunk when the gun goes off, but it tames it down considerably. I would love to get a set of custom plugs, but there are many that are well over 3k. Looking back, I should have just pulled the trigger on a set before I started experimenting with all the other models. One thing is for sure, if you think your hearing will hold up after being exposed to rifle shots (braked or unbraked) you are sorely mistaken. This remark isn't aimed at the OP or meant to be snide, just trying to help folk make wise choices when it comes to hearing protection. I still have close friends who don't wear plugs or muffs when hunting and think it's okay. As others that have tinnitus and other hearing issues are well aware, it's definitely not worth the risk!
