Ringing should go in a year or so if you're lucky. Try some Howard Leight Impact Sport Electronic Ear Defenders, only cost around £50. Got mine off eBay and christened them today, they are great and as an added bonus I haven't got any ringing in my ears either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Mate, I use Peltor Sportacs and can't fault them. I use them for clay shooting, rifle shooting and in the field. They are comfortable and you can hear people talking no problem. If you have a look on the bay you can pick them up for around £100 from an official Peltor dealer. I shoot around a 1000 cartridges a month on clays alone and have never had any ringing issues. Jon.

berettaman Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) That rining in your ears is the start of permanent damage to your ears,it doesnt matter what type you use as long as they are on/over/in your ears before you pull the trigger,even if its the throw away foam jobs,dont take your hearing for granted the ringing may never go away,take precautions NOW by the way i use Napier pro 9 and in the hide rubber plugs Edited April 11, 2010 by berettaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted April 11, 2010 Report Share Posted April 11, 2010 Napier Pro 9's are excellent. I had one, but replaced it for the Pro 10. They are excellent for noise reduction, but do not affect normal sounds like speech etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Zipdog, take my advice, I have tinitus ( ringing in both ears) now for over 15 years from my work exposure to noise on the coalface. at onetime it used to go away like yours now its there for good and it aint no joke. buy the best you can afford and never shoot without protection or u will end up like me and thousands of others, i use peltor sport tac but if you have ringing now do some research and get the best or you will be sorry, also have a look at case loads of tinitus sufferers and it may just change your thinking. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyb79 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 I own a whole range of ear protectors from custom in-ear plugs to the Napier Pro 9. The best I've ever used and continue to use are Peltor Sport-Tac. May be pricey, but worth every penny. Couldn't get on with the Pro 9s at all.

George I couldn't agree more. I have a pair of MSA Sordin Pro X's which I use for clays, game and pigeons. The sound quality is superb. They are very light on batteries , have a waterproof battery compartment and I have had used them in all weathers for 3 years now without a fault. After sales service in the UK is via GMK and a friend of mine got a brand new pair after 18 months, when his developed a slight fault.

Salopian Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 Foam plugs can normally be obtained free from work or a colleaguewho works in a noisy workplace. They are the best ear protection that money can't buy. I wear foam plugs and ear muffs and my earing is very good. I intend to keep it that way. I understand that the Napier Pro 9 & 10 may be better and cheaper than electronics? I personally don't like the look of them as they remind me of the teletubbies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
