[QUOTE="jeb405, post: 2149447, member: 78163"] Thanks for the info. I got impatient and bought a pair of gel pads from Noisefighters and put them on an old pair of Peltor Tactical 6S hearing protectors. For sure not cheap if your hearing protectors themselves were around $50-100, but I wish I knew about these years ago. If you wear hearing protection much you owe it to yourself to try some. First, on these thin hearing protectors when I wore them for more than a couple of hours my ears hurt as there was not enough room in the small cup. The new pads add thickness which adds space and no more pressure. Second they make SUCH a better seal to my head than the foam they are obviously much quieter. And thirdly there is the relief area that allows your safety glasses to go over the top of the pad instead of making an opening that both creates unpleasant pressure on your head as well creates a opening to degrade db protection. So yeah, I highly recommend. I was ready to buy a new pair of hearing protectors but bringing this old pair back to life with new pads cost me about the same and I think is better than new hearing protectors with cheap ear pads.
