xpierrat Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Looking for input/ recommendations on IN the ear electronic plugs ( not MUFFS ) There are several out there but the hard part is finding a pair that clips the gun shot AND recovers fast enough to pick up the clang of a steel plate.... they all pretty much pick up the voice commands etc. Experiences?

Bkreutz Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Soundgear, they're so good I forget they're in. I got mine from House of Hearing [houseofhearing@mac.com], They are in Utah, ran into them at the 2016 Area 1 match. They billed my medical insurance company (who picked up 100% for both my wife and myself). I could never go back to muffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1911luvr Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 If you are looking for something reasonably affordable I just got the Peltor TEP-100 set and used them today for the first time. They are not as good as amplified muffs which do a better job of helping you decipher sound directionality (where the sound originated), but I could hear the steel ring with them and also hear conversation well enough. They were also better than foam plugs for hearing the leading edge of the timer beep. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guns_and_labs Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I like the Westons, myself, and have no problem hearing the steel ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus one for these, have used them for a couple of years and they work great, plus Chris from House of Hearing is a shooter also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gave them my medical insurance info, the submitted a bill to the company and they paid the bill. Nothing mysterious, they also do hearing aids so maybe they know how to fill out the forms correctly (or maybe they're one of the few that try) I didn't think it had a snowballs chance in hell, but I also figured the worst that could happen is that the would deny coverage. Doesn't hurt to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This thread has me thinking I need to check my insurance, because I really don't like wearing over-the-head ear pro. I know that hearing aids for measured hearing loss is covered, and I have an HSA I could use for this....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vluc Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Depends where you live, while some states require coverage for children, less than a handful require hearing aid coverage for adults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimitz Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I have a pair from Axil Pro. they have 4 modes: 3 sound enhancement & 1 sound protection. You go to an audiologist to have custom ear inserts made and an audiogram (hearing test). The devices are tuned specifically to your hearing and as your hearing changes over time you send them back with new audiograms & they update them - for free. They are not cheap - $3995 but I love mine ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomv Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 I use ESP plugs. I normally wear hearing aids and ESP will program your hearing aid prescription into their earplugs for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) 3m Peltor EEP-100, same as TEP-100 but lime green and a different charging case, add some Skull Screw tips and for 170 bucks you’ll have electronic in ear hearing protection with a 30bd noise reduction, I love mine.

BillChunn Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Walker's Game Ear Silencer Earbuds Rechargeable - R600 These come with their own recharging case which will charge the earbuds about 6 times before it needs to be connected back to a power source. Very comfortable with 3 different size inserts. Comes with two replacement ear "hooks" (left and right). Bluetooth interface connects to an app on your phone to adjust settings (volume, auto-off, mode, etc.). When interfaced to your phone, you can hear incoming calls. Very handy when the phone is in your range bag and someone is calling. Much better version than the one that uses hearing aid batteries (have used both).
