[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 999705, member: 28381"] [INDENT] If I may ask, what does everyone use for hearing protection while shooting? And Hunting? Here's why I ask. I have been using a pr. of Peltor electronic muffs with little in the way of problems. Every once in a while they would get bumped slightly off my right ear when getting into position on the stock but they could always be reset before firing the shot. This is what happened Wednesday past at the range when, at that exact moment they were off the ear, someone next to me lit the fuse on a braked 300something or other magnum less than 8' to my right. To which I replied ([I]censored[/I]). Today, the audio Doc (A) told me that I will be lucky to get back 50% of my hearing in the right ear when it and if it returns and when the ringing diminishes. And (B) has warned me, quite strongly I might add, to wear both rubber plugs AND a tighter fitting muff when ever I'm anywhere near anything any kind of loud. This I will do. However I really do/ did like the amplification of the Peltor muff while hunting. I would just wear them all the time while hunting with the gain turned up a couple clicks. Rubber plugs under the Peltor will defeat this feature though I may just wear one in the right (damaged) ear. Does anyone have another solution to continuing to use the hearing enhancement feature of the muff or am I "So Out of Luck"? A different brand or type of hearing protection? Thanks Pete [/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
