Most of you guys need to either consult a qualified audiologist or develop a better understanding of the human ear, or both. Those Surefires are better than nothing, better than compressible foam plugs, but not nearly adequate for serious protection for anyone who shoots more than occasionally. Traumatic hearing loss is cumulative and the damage will catch up with you. Research bone conduction and cilia damage. And take a look at age related hearing loss. Once you lose it, it's gone forever.

I have a pair of very cheep muffs that cut off all sound above a certain DB level. While they are effective they produce “dead air” for a period after the firing of a gun, even on an adjacent trap field. I would like to have muffs that reduce the high DB sound of a shot while not diminishing my ability to hear the scorer. Guidance please.

Thanks

I am totally deaf in one ear (ruptured membrane in the cochlea) and wear a hearing aid all the time in the other ear. When hunting I use Walker's Game Ear or a 3M Peltor. Both work fine. Amplify until they need to suppress.
