kmca Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I've tried a few, less expensive (up to $300) electronic earplugs and I haven't been very satisfied. I'm a little reluctant to spend over $1k for the "good" ones. So far, they all do a pretty good job of blocking gunfire noises, but have lacked in the normal conversational hearing. I currently use ProEars Gold and I've been very satisfied with the voice amplification/clarity. Has anyone found an in-ear protection that equals or exceeds the clairty/amplification of ProEars Digital? Which brand/model was it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Do you currently use a hearing aid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzw26n Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 I used the ProEars Gold muffs last year and was very happy with them shooting indoors. But, as soon as we moved outdoors, the ProEars were to HOT. So I purchased a pair Westone Defender II's, very comfortable and on the lowest setting has the same voice pick up as the ProEars. I'm very glad I got them, and will not go back to muffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted October 2, 2015 Author Share Posted October 2, 2015 Do you currently use a hearing aid? No, but my wife says I probably should I used the ProEars Gold muffs last year and was very happy with them shooting indoors. But, as soon as we moved outdoors, the ProEars were to HOT. So I purchased a pair Westone Defender II's, very comfortable and on the lowest setting has the same voice pick up as the ProEars. I'm very glad I got them, and will not go back to muffs. Thank you. That's the kind of review I was looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 KMCA, the reason I asked is that I wear hearing aids (2) - if my wife could find a third place for me to wear one, I'm sure I'd be wearing three .... For me, it seemed a no-brainer that I wouldn't wear my hearing aids to the range - why magnify the blast of the shooting? What I've found, is that wearing the hearing aids is a Great Idea - the aids stop some noise coming in above a certain db level (they actually cut out some noise), but allow me to hear, under my muffs. I can use the cheapest muffs out there, and hear as well as I can usually hear (not too well, but that's life). When you start wearing hearing aids, you won't need to spend $1,000 on the muffs, and you'll be able to hear pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
