Starting to face the facts that several hundred shotgun shells a year is going to leave me deaf the same way my old man is these days. I hunt a combination of waterfowl and upland birds. Being able to hear ambient noise is really important for me, I cannot stand hunting with standard ear plugs in. That and if I am hunting with a partner, communication is important and yelling when birds are coming in isn't an option. Curious what products folks have had luck with. I would prefer an earbud style, preferably with a lanyard to help keep track of them. |

Probably not what you had in mind, but I am a right handed shooter, I stuff a foam earplug in the left ear, when I shoot my right ear is somewhat shielded, left ear is not ringing at end of the day. |

I bought a pair of connected ear buds to use this season to replace my muffs. I couldn’t wear the muffs for an entire hunt without getting a nasty headache. The buds I got I liked just fine but I proceeded to drop them somewhere when I was out trying to track down a cripple in the reeds. Nothing like $175 lost in the mud. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DXQJ6JR7?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title |

Yeah in same boat. 60 years of shooting left handed. Can’t hear a turkey gobble or elk bugle from any distance. Heck can’t hear the wife from the kitchen. Bought some of those popular enhancers / protectors and they helped in the house, but in the wind they were too noisy, then they would start acting up. My wife is threatening hearing aids, not sure I want to hear clearer, there’s some piece in silence. :chuckle: |
