Ear protection for the range?

[jackelope]

Anyone recommend good ear protection in the form of ear plugs? I think I'd like to invest in the style that is molded or formed to fit my ears but I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks!

Tagging.  I currently use the noise cancelling ear muffs but don't like shooting rifles with the muff style.

I use Howard Leight Impact Sport while target shooting and hunting without issues. I can take my hearing aids out and still hear while hunting. Or I use custom fitted earplugs the cost is about $100 a pair, I use them while shooting Sporting Clays, Trap and Skeet.

That's my current stance as well. I hate the muff style.

I think I remember there being someone at SST making these for folks on sight at one of the big shoots one year.

I guess I have sensitive ears.  I use plugs, and muffs.

I use the little foamies in addition to howard Leight Muffs.  Significantly reduces flinch tendencies and makes shooting more relaxing and enjoyable with the big magnums with brakes.

Same here for me.  I want to keep what hearing I have left.

I use walker razor xv for rifle and shotgun has a 31 nrr and if I feel the need I can connect to my phone and listen to music. I use caldwell electronic low profile occasionally for pistol rated at 23 nrr its not bad outdoors with a pistol.

I suffered some hearing loss as a teenager from firing a .357 without hearing protection. I take hearing protection very seriously and go for maximum decibel reduction. I use 33dB reducing foam plugs. (the cheap ones like "Super Leight" from Howard Leight) I have been known to don earmuffs in addition to plugs at the range when firing rifles like my .338 Winchester.

I also won't own a rifle with a muzzle brake. I know they can be superior in some shooting situations but I don't engage in long range precision firing requiring quick follow up shots and when it comes to rifles like my .458 Lott, I just tell myself that enduring the recoil makes me manly and stronger.

I just use head squishers at the range. Cheap walker game eats I think. The battery’s are dead anyways.
While hunting it’s some form of in ear plugs

Just ear plugs for me.

I do the same!

I use a pair of custom molded ear plugs I got from my previous employer.  best hearing protection I have ever used.  Well worth the cost if you want to protect your hearing, about $140.

Same here.  I have found the squishy orange foam inserts better than the custom molded ones.  Double protection all the way, and I won't shoot at the range if somebody is using a boom-gun.  I like my hearing, intend to keep it.

I use Howard Leigh’s foam plugs with muffs. If you go with custom molded plugs be aware if your weight fluctuates up or down more than 10 pounds they will no longer work as they should, your ear canal changes with weight gain/loss. Used to wear them for work but don’t any more...
