| Anybody have any suggestions for good electronic in ear or around ear hearing protection. I shoot often and need to be able to hear range commands etc. I would also consider wearing something on duty...but I think that would end up being too problimatic. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated. I've been looking into Surefire's "Fox Ears" and E.A.R. Inc.'s Tac SHS II. |

Peltor 6-S www.envirosafetyproducts.com/category/peltor-ear-protection-electronic-ear-muffs.html These work pretty good and aren't too pricey. |
*I* haven't tried them yet, but I have looked into them. They DO have to be "fitted" in order to work properly. Many shooters wear them in IPSC locally when they shoot race guns. It gives an additional measure against the noise, they say. The ones I've priced aren't cheap, they start at around $150 & go up from there. I only looked at one or two places, there may be much cheaper ones to be found. My issue with ear plugs for me is getting dirt in my ear canal. My ears don't care for this, so *I* stick with muffs. Keeps my ears warm in the winter too.

These are not cheap but they fit around your ear and have a db rating of 29. Cabelas has several different brands and models of in ear hearing protection/enhancers. They go from a couple of hundred to a couple of thousand. |
