wannabe_keeper Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Its my birthday at the end of this month and I want some new shooting ear plugs from the Mrs. (at least i tell her they are for shooting). Any recomendations? I prefer 'in-ear' plugs rather than ear muffs, but want something that allow normal sound in when talking but obviously block out the gun. Ive been told to look for vented ones?

Scully Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Emtec http://www.noisebreaker.com Any idea as to a rough cost for these? Have been on the website since reading this thread but can't find a price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbrowning Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) Any idea as to a rough cost for these? Have been on the website since reading this thread but can't find a price. £80 + vat They are at the shooting show this weekend if you are there? If you decide to get your impressions locally and send them in, they will deduct the cost of what you paid for your impressions off that price. Doing my research they are the cheapest / most regarded product. Never heard a bad word on them, they are supposed to be the best filter plug (without electronics) for having a normal conversation. Better than the sonic valves in my opinion as they also protect your ears from other harmful frequencies not just shooting. Good for me as I also ride a motorcycle.

I went for the pink ones! You won't regret that decision (well maybe the colour - but they will be easy to see as even my blue one sometimes take some finding in long grass).

Towngun Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Answer: Use only ear muffs! Why: The “Rinne” hearing test is performed by an audiologist using using a tuning fork placed in the middle of the forehead, in contact with the bone. Sound travels via bone. It is advised therefore the blast-induced concussion of a shotgun is such that the entire ear cavity should be protected and this protection can only be given by ear muffs!

Prawn Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 I use these, very comfortable and protect your ears very well. Would definitely recommend. http://www.furfeatherandfin.com/product/16/sp09/sonic-hearing-defenders.html#.UwJk_MRdV8E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
