jacksimonton Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 What's the best earplugs for the pilot and shooter?
LNGH Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 If you're really worried double up. In ears and muffs, especially if you're shooting higher caliber/typically louder things like long actions or <16" barrels, or shooting indoors. If you're just doing one then look for the highest DB rating that fits well. You could have 1000db reduction but it doesn't do any good if you don't get a good seal. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend getting some of the muffs with ambient noise pass-through, I use these. The SA of being able to hear is great. Plus you can crank up the volume if you're doubling up.
raimius Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Get some 31-34NRR ear plugs (make sure you wear them correctly) and wear some electronic ear muffs.

The generic earplug blocked the whole sound from entrance to our ear so that we can't hear other at the time of shooting or other. But electronic one give a limited sound to our ear according to our hearing ability and so that we listen to the others and what they say.

I have these, and they’re a tenth of the price of the set in the above comment. HOWEVER, you will need to add gel cups to the ear pieces on these to make them worth it. I bought these, (supporting made in USA/vet owned business) and it turned those from terrible to pretty amazing and comfortable. Not bad for less than $100. I use a pair of noise-fighters earplug for two months. But it's so sad to me that some how I lost them. They are good too.
LookieRookie Posted December 19, 2019 Posted December 19, 2019 You’re always a winner with the classics.

Do they come in different colors (that's what she said)? Can they be re-used, or better yet, can they be recycled - thereby saving the planet (That's what Greta said)? Heavy stuff, I know.

Visit the tool section of your local AMU. Grab a whole hand full just like the maintainers do. Reusable? Oh hell yeah, did it all the time, then again maybe that's why most maintainers have hearing loss, LOL. Only come (STS) in yellow, but hey, there "free".
jacksimonton Posted December 21, 2019 Author Posted December 21, 2019 A friend of mine gives me a recommendation https://www.bigearinc.com/products/best-ear-protection-for-shooting on it. He use the earplugs for six years and satisfied. Does anyone deal with them before?
Standby Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 https://www.moldex.com/product/sparkplugs/ Much better than the 3M yellow foamies. If shooting, double up with cheapy Peltors.
