[QUOTE="BIGJOHNT, post: 1072691, member: 54823"] Now that I am older. I take hearing protection more seriously . I use electronic fitted ear piece just like a fitted hearing aid. I have one set that is analog and one more expensive set that is digital. In my younger days only using muff on loud guns like pistol and never using them while hunting. I have now suffered some hearing loss. My uncles and grandpa shot skeet and trap and have also had problems and they always use standard muffs. So they now have hearing aids. Most time just muffs aren't enough. I have seen some guys wear plugs and muffs. Once you have lost hearing you can never get it back. I also carry ear plugs in my truck. The kind shaped like a horse shoe. I wear them around my neck even if I am only a spotter. But with muzzle break guns it is often those around you that get the muzzle blast much more then the shooter. I found myself even using my plug around a loud drill or any loud machinery . I always protected my hearing now ! Trying to protest the hearing I have left. I wish I would have been more care full in my younger years. But often the better protection is to expensive in our younger times of life. Although we should never skimp on our hearing or eye protection. Especially with so many of use shooting steel these days. Where your eye protection as well . I guess I am saying don't skimp when it comes to protecting your hearing and eyes. Sorry for the long sermon . [/QUOTE]
