[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 304473, member: 4191"] I do as AJ does, using both in ear plugs and electronic ear muffs which magnify lower sounds and shut out loud sounds. Except I use the Insta-Mold molded-in-ear plugs from EAR Incorporated. These plugs are molded within your ear to fit your ear perfectly and provide substantially better hearing protection than the foam throw-away ear plugs. They last for years and cost about $45.00 to $50.00, depending on which EAR certified rep. fits them to your ears. Takes about 45 minutes. This is the best measure that I know of you could take to improve protection of your hearing for less than ~$50.00. Many of the oilfield workers on Alaska's North Slope also use these molded-in-ear plugs for hearing protection. If money is no issue, EAR sells molded-in-ear plugs that include digital hearing aid electronics that will amplify soft sounds and shut down load sounds. They would allow you to hear and even amplify soft noises while hunting, like a hearing aid, yet protect the ears from gunfire by electronically shutting out those loud noises. Be prepared to pay $thousands for their top of the line. You could do a Google search for [B]EAR Incorporated[/B] and then call them - they'll provide you with the names and phone numbers of the closest EAR rep in your area. I found one even in a small town in Alaska, so there will probably be one located near you also. You'll be amazed at how quite the room gets as the plugs are being fitted in your ears. Like breaking a Jewel trigger, or looking through Swarovski glass for the first time. [/QUOTE]
