FrankyDub23 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hey! I was wondering what hearing protection you guys use and how well does it perform... I'm currently using Big Ear custom filtered earplugs under my earmuffs just to double down. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 just use a pair of shooting muffs, years of farming (Oliver Ear),...have taken it's toll here, trying to save what I have left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkoholic Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I have used the same Silencio Magnum shooting muffs for the past several decades and have no complaints as they work just fine. The trick for me is to make sure they are sitting over my ears properly. On occasion, I will also use the cheap foam earplugs along with the muffs and an example would be when I'm shooting the Taurus Raging Bull 454 Casull with its ported barrel (that thing is loud!). I do not use any hearing protection when hunting with the exception of gopher (Colombian ground squirrel) hunting when using a short barreled 223 and the possibility of multiple shots, and then I use a behind the ear model of Walkers Game Ear, which muffles loud sounds while allowing me to hear normal sounds. 3 hours ago, Mathews XT Man said: just use a pair of shooting muffs, years of farming (Oliver Ear),...have taken it's toll here, trying to save what I have left Growing up on a farm I think I hear that. That brings up the question: Does everyone use hearing protection when working with loud machinery? I know the Game Ear (and anything similar) is a good option when working around equipment as they tone down the loud noises yet allow one to hear normal conversation (warning yells) and if not using the muff variety are a lot cooler to wear.

wtnhunt Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Whichever pair I find that are handy. Have 2 pair of howard leight amplified noise cancelling muffs, usually use those for the kids when I have them shooting. Have a pair of silencio and winchester standard muffs.

Ultradog Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I assume this is for target practice? If so I guess what ever you are comfortable with. I use a good pair of ear muffs that I keep in my puckup for work. As for hunting with ear plugs/muffs on, I cant imagine doing that. I hunted in the woods for many years and shot more deer after first hearing them than seeing them. I suppose if you hunt in open country that would be different.

Shaun_300 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 That is something I need to be more diligent with. I honestly hardly ever wear any. Only time I did if I was shooting multiple rounds out of my .300 WSM, I should be wearing them no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I have always been pretty diligent about hearing protection. I used to wear muffs when shooting but find them to be to hot durning the summer. Last year I had a custom molded ear plugs made and they work really well. They fit in my ears nice and work really good for shooting all day and are really comfortable. Still wear muffs during winter shooting as they keep my ears warm.

WalterVandervort Posted January 10, 2020 Report Share Posted January 10, 2020 One professional and premium quality hearing protection earmuffs that are easy to access in the market today is the Decibel Defense Professional Safety Earmuff. It is highly rated, providing proof of just how good it is. I find it comfortable for use on both industrial uses and shooting while keeping your hearing protected.
