Dougy Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 Learn to cut out the distraction. That's as well as using ear defenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) I use Emtec noisebreakers for all of my shooting, whether it be down at the clay club, in the pigeon hide, rough shooting or on a pheasant day. 90 quid moulded to your ear. Obviously there are over-the-ear defenders which are much cheaper and electronic plugs which are far, far more expensive, but these strike a nice balance for me between price and comfort and protection. I'm a spectacles wearer, which is why the muffs are a literally a pain. Despite them, I still miss clays, pigeons and pheasants without breaking a sweat, all day long.

malmick Posted October 14, 2015 Report Share Posted October 14, 2015 CENS passive ~£100 + fitting and you are good to go. You can ignore unwanted conversations and become oblivious to shots going off. If needed you can wear them permanently and ignore swmbo. Just tell her that they are so comfortable that you forgot to take them out. Only works once mind! Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Look on evilbay for mouldable earplugs, about £8 a set (usually blue), takes 5 min to make for perfect fit. Usually for bikers, but work well for shooting as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt1980 Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 I've just had a set of hocks filters done, absolutely brilliant! Wish I'd had them done years ago! Think they were about £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totsy Posted October 15, 2015 Report Share Posted October 15, 2015 Emtec, mould taken of my ears, plugs arrived two weeks later. Comfortable and can hear everything except the gun report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bb Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Serious question. All these in-ear moulded plugs seem very good but what if you've hairy ears? Doesn't the silicone (when setting) adhere to the hairs making removal at least very painful? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grazy Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 +1 Emtec noise breakers . Great service and perfect fit. Use them on clays and driven shoots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cromwell7 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I like the noise breakers but does anyone else find if you smile or laugh whilst wearing them it breaks the seal and let's the noise in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 I like the noise breakers but does anyone else find if you smile or laugh whilst wearing them it breaks the seal and let's the noise in. I initially found that when I lifted the gun and got a good solid cheek weld, the pressure on my cheek would move my ear a little and make the plug feel like it was coming loose; same effect as you - cracking the seal, so to speak. I was disappointed but elected to just live with it . However, I've since found that it was me not actually putting the mould in correctly. I insert the ear canal bit into the appropriate cavity but I then make sure that the rest of the ear mould it actually sitting in my ear shape. Tricky to describe but I basically slide my finger around the external part of my ear, above the ear canal and make sure that all of the crinkly bits have a piece of of the fitting in them - effectively making sure that the external ear is holding the entire mould in the right place. This makes the plug much more comfortable and means it absolutely does not move, shift, break the seal or generally give me any grief when I'm walking, beating, shooting, whatever. I can wear my noisebreakers for hours on end, in total comfort ,whereas after an hour or so of them not being fully seated, they'd start to get irritating. Now, I can't feel them after wearing them for 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flynn Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) Serious question. All these in-ear moulded plugs seem very good but what if you've hairy ears? Doesn't the silicone (when setting) adhere to the hairs making removal at least very painful? I don't think I have hairy ears but I don't think it'd be an issue to be honest. When you're being fitted, they slide a small foam pad deep into the canal (really deep - don't try this at home!) with a couple of threads (much like a tea-bag) to remove the entire thing. Then an expanding foam style material is squirted into the canal and around your outer ear to get the precise shape. The foam is then sent off to make a mould and the silicon plug is made from this mould. Any ear hair doesn't stick to the expanding foam and it just gets pushed flat when you insert the silicon plus and pops back into place when you remove them. If you're after some moulded plugs and this is putting you off, rest assured - it won't be an issue.

Savhmr Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 Just bought some Auritech ones: http://www.auritech.co.uk/universal-fit/shoot/ Comfiest in ear type I've ever worn. Not too dear at £19 either. Can hear others talk (these are the passive ones) but very effective on gunshots, one of the best I've tried. Nice little Alu case provided too.

alsonlaw9936 Posted October 22, 2015 Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUREFIRE-EARPRO-SONIC-EP4-EAR-DEFENDER-PLUG-SHOOTING-HUNTING-SPORT-FREE-UK-P-P-/161200126353?var=&hash=item258846b991:m:meibVEmn9UDIBCfrRhZOckg , if that doesnt cut it wear your ear defender on top of it .
