I think I need to start wearing ear protection while hunting to save what hearing I have left.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

I wear sure fire ep7 ear plugs I take the center flange out and I can hear great and it deadens the gun shot enough that I don't have problems.
Now then, get your equipment—your quiver and bow—and go out to the open country to hunt some wild game for me.  Gen. 27:3

I wear them in a duck blind or layouts while goose hunting. I keep the right one a little loose so I can hear a bit.   

Big game I keep a set of foam plugs on the strings around my neck tucked in my shirt or coat and given the time I will put them in.  I figure each time I can put them in is one less time I'll say "what'd you say" in another 10 to 15 years or so!

Started wearing the Walker Game Ears for goose hunts in the layout blinds. When I put a muzzle brake on my .300 Weatherby, I started using them for deer and elk hunting as well. Amazing how far way you can hear an animal when it is walking. Now I use the game ears anytime I am shooting.

I keep a set of the silicone ear plugs around my neck if I'm moving around a lot while hunting. They're quicker to get in than the foam kind. If I'm just sitting I wear a set of electronic muffs.

My hearing is already bad from sitting in an aluminum box with a diesel engine 3 feet away from me for 12 hours a day. I'd like to keep the little bit of hearing that I have left!

one of these days i'd like to get a pair of electronic ear plugs.  regular ones don't really cut it when duck calling for me, and i also miss out on the low fliers that sneak up behind you.

i bought some of the custom fit molded ear plugs and they are a big step up from the disposable kind, don't make me feel like my head is in a vise.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun
