firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 27 I was all set up to get electronic, Bluetooth buds through insurance, but after an audiogram, $150 for foam molds, and a Dr signed RX, for some reason it has been denied by insurance. I have killed a lot of stuff with peltor muffs, but they are big and bulky and sometime get in the way of the cheek wield. What does everyone use, besides a supressor? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRDATR Report post Posted July 27 I had a pair of foam molds made maybe 20 years ago and use when when possible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer something with electronic amplification. That way you can hear instructions from your partner before/after the shot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viper Report post Posted July 27 I have a set of Axil's. They work great at the range. Noise canceling, amplifying, Bluetooth to phone. They also have a wireless set. I intend to try them this season for hunting. https://goaxil.com/products/gx-extreme?variant=33887794561083&tw_source=google&tw_adid=646241365368&tw_campaign=19621004338&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtZK1BhDuARIsAAy2Vzu34PqXemUfrGGufVoNekugVdfZJgpSnHIiKBZKrYUrwB76DhCUDMsaAmniEALw_wcB For hunting I usually have the plastic "hoop" type around my neck. https://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Reusable-Plugs-Protection-Construction/dp/B07R6NVPQN/ref=asc_df_B07R6NVPQN/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=692875362841&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17953808598233311843&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9030040&hvtargid=pla-2281435178338&psc=1&mcid=82e8f6adc9333a7cb954c7d3b2c01313&hvocijid=17953808598233311843-B07R6NVPQN-&hvexpln=73&gad_source=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Island junkie Report post Posted July 28 I wear ear protection when out practicing but when hunting nothing unless I’m a bystander then just fingers in the ears. There are benefits to having F’d up hearing if you’re married 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzDiamondHeat Report post Posted July 28 I won't shoot without protection. ever. unless supressed and that is almost always. I always have a set of banded silicone plugs around my neck. so easy to throw on when getting dressed, just part of my gear like everything else. ive been trying out those little electronic earbuds lately. pretty happy but not sold on them yet.

They kind of seem to good to be true. The ones I was supposed to get through insurance were like $2700. The Axils are like $200. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My son and I split the cost. They have worked well for pistol and rifle (with a brake), and at the range with others shooting. I would buy again, and consider the wireless.

Siwash Report post Posted August 8 I have these in all my packs and use them religiously in any shooting situation.

My hesitation is, my rifle already has a 26" barrel, it will be 34-35" with a supressor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
