Westley Posted November 24, 2023 Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Has anyone experience of making and using any of the 'mould to fit' hearing defence ? The type that you put into hot water then push into your ear to mould to shape. Were they easy to make, but more importantly, do they work ? Thanks. W.

Westley Posted November 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2023 Could I ask which make you used please. I have ear defenders by CFG and they are great, but I need the electronic amplification. These are for my Grandson who can not get on with the over ear 'cans' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted November 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I showed my Grandson today. There is also an excellent 'how to' video on YouTube. He is ordering some this week. He was on a 'high' today, he shot 49 ex 60 with his 'new' gun ! His younger Brother was not too far behind him either. Their scores are catching me up. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
udderlyoffroad Posted November 26, 2023 Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 Well done to your grandsons. But, I used to have a pair of the Decibullz; honestly I don’t think they attenuate enough for clays. I could definitely “feel it” after 50 birds. I would suggest either sticking to over-ear cans or stumping up for at the very least some in ear 3M peltors if not custom moulded plugs, if they find over-ears cumbersome. Hearing is too precious to risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westley Posted November 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2023 I CAN vouch for that ! He was using 'cans' today, but he has started to lift his head to avoid the stock from hitting them. I gave him some foam disposable plugs and he shot a lot better I know gunfit is not an issue, just the defenders smacking the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never use cans, and I shot for nearly five decades with guns which “fit” me pretty well (self “fitted”). Until I bought my current game gun. The moment I picked it up the fit was a revelation, subsequently confirmed by H&H at Northolt. Cans never clatter the stock when I use that gun. So, maybe look again at his gun fit? Maybe he is having to lay his head over just a little too much, rather than being able to shoot with his head more upright? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
