Electronic hearing devices

I have the same question for someone with experience with these products. The muffs seem like they would be hot and cumbersome, but the expense of the others are high, but are they worth it? I have some hearing lose so a little help would be nice. Thanks.

i found a pair in the parking lot of a public range they are remington R2000 thin muffs they are comfertable as [beeep] and deff kept me warm..they go for 120 bucks so was a slamming find!EXCEPT THEY WERE LEFT ON AND I HAD TO GET NEW BATTERIES AND OF COURSE THEY WERE 5 BUCKS A BATTERY!

thought they would be a good idea cause ussally have to take a shot to the ears everytime i pull the trigger on a predator...but i was sitting in a stand and 2 predators came from behind and i never heard them and they were about 15 yrds away when i hit them with my spotlight....

but my hearing is more important so i think im gonna take them with me in the woods

my buddy has a few pairs that he has paid 220 plus for the earmuffs and i have borrowed and tested... i think these remington r2000 are about the same quality..talk to your wallet and decide
 
Have used the Walker Quads for three or four years now and they are great. Hot in summer, but I generally wear above my ears and slip down for the shot when hunting; they are great in the winter time

. Mine get a lot of use as I hunt at least 150 days a year and have had no problems with them. Batteries are inexpensive and long lasting (unless you forget to turn them off). The quads use 4 mikes to give you ability to determine direction sound originates.

I have tenitis and quite a bit of hearing loss already and the muffs allow me to crank up volume to hear sounds I otherwise would never hear.
Walker Quad Game Ear

Well worth the money IMO. Wish I had taken hearing loss more seriously in my younger years!

I just picked up a pair of Howard Leight Impact Sport muffs and I'm very happy with them. They come highly reviewed on many sites and are slim compared to some of the other muffs. Even as slim as they are they still make it impossible to shoot my rifles with a raised comb (cheekpiece) so I have to use earplugs for them. Overall quality seems good they amplify very well, shut off noise when they should and have an automatic shutoff at 4 hours to save the batteries which is a plus.

+1

I have had three other kinds of electronic muffs including Peltors and so far these are my favorites. Having the auto shut off is a a real plus because I was always forgot to turn my off at the end of the day and had dead muffs at my next trip to the range. Another nice thing about these is that they come with a hookup for your walkman type device so that you can listen to your favorite music if you like while you are shooting at the range. That's kind of cool I think.

Oh, and Cablelas has them on sale for $50 too. Good deal made even better.

+1 on the Howard Leights, except that I have no problems with stock interference. I sure wish I'd had these back when I was a teenager, maybe my ears wouldnt be ringing non-stop now. I dont leave home with out them!
 
I have three pair of attenuating hearing protection. One pair of Helbergs made in Sweden, rechargable. One pair of Peltor Tactical Pros and a very cheap pair I just got from Midway for $24. Honestly the cheap pair work excellent and are more comfortable than the other two. They are lighter and thinner which allows for a better cheekwled to the stock. I would suggest you find out what batteries are needed before you buy any of them. You will want something with very common batteries. Some of the older pair require those bastxrd batteries that you can't find anywhere and when you do you'll think they are made of gold.
