[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2492071, member: 313"] One thing to think about: Sound reaches your eardrum through the ear canal and through the tissue surrounding your ear. Over the head protection provides some protection from both. In the ear protection obviously cannot. I went for a hearing test the other day. They put me in a small soundproof booth to conduct the tests. After the usual in-the-ear test they put a device just behind my ear and introduced all the different pitch sounds again. They did this on each side. I think the in-the-ear protection is a great idea for hunting even though I never wore anything while hunting over the last few decades. However, the added benefit of muff type hearing protection may well be worth the inconvenience, especially with so many braked rifles around today. [/QUOTE]
