What's the best ear protection a person can use while bird and duck hunting? I don't want to use ear muffs but something that fits in the ear canal and will let me hear normally but will block out the gun fire that is getting me deaf...... Thanks, Frank

If you want to hear and have protection ,without paying a fortune you might have to go with electronic ear muffs.

Something like this works great.

For ducks I just use foam plugs, for deer I have tried a few different types with limited success. I'm with you I can't do the muffs for hunting.

I like the Peltor Tactical 6 electronic model. Can be found under 70 bucks, magnify noises my old ears would not hear, blocks out the gunshot and keeps my ears warm in the winter. Use them for all the hunting I do.

Huh? What did you say ?? 45 years of bird hunting without ear protection may have had an effect

I have hearing damage from my time in service and from an industrial explosion. If I shoot without hearing protection it will make me physically sick. I have a service related disability from it. So I go nowhere without ear plugs or muffs. I like the electronic muffs the best but they aren't practical everywhere. My favorite funny saying is I'm deaf in one ear and can't hear out of the other. I need hearing aides and want good ones that block gun noise. Anyone got info on something like that? They would be great for shooting and running power tools. That would be the bomb so to speak.

The best solution I have found is "Sonic Ear Valves". They are less than $10.00, and are available at Wally World. They allow you to hear normal noised and conversations, but they shut down at 85 decibles. Sometimes, I even forget that I have them in.....Robin

Those Sonic Ear Valves sound interesting. I might have to have a look at those.

What do you guys think of these? Earpro Sonic Defenders Brownells sells them. For the price and because the reviews are good on them, I was thinking of trying them.

Hey Robin (aka Hawken), I just went looking for yours online, and found the same one's I referred to. Are yours from Walmart the same ones I link from Brownells? If so, I am going to get a pair for that price and try them.
