I guess I haven't killed enough critters, but my hearing is fine. Doctor certified (yearly tests). Which ruins that excuse when my wife hollers across the house at me.Howdy!
What? What did you say? SPEAK UP! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Sure does. Mine’s bad enough to require hearing aids and it’s tough to carry on a conversation without them (I’m not exactly elderly at 40 either). They’re onerous to wear when recreating outside in warmer weather. Makes tromping around in griz country extra interesting.
I find muffs get in the way at the range and prefer those multi colored foamies as they condense down better than most and really get in the ear canal before expanding. That said, I’ll probably try to revisit muffs with a low profile version to use in conjunction with the foamies.
In the field I don’t use em though. Need to rectify this with some around the neck ones next season.
I’m almost positive of this. No offense taken at all!BTW, I don't mean to be overly critical, but if your earmuffs get in the way of your shooting at the range, I suspect that you are benchresting and your position is poor.
SameI have never worn ear protection while hunting. Always when not hunting.
And someday, you can be like me. 3/4s deaf.I don't wear any when deer hunting.

This right here! I didn't notice my extensive damage until mid 40s. A trip to the audiologist was pretty eye opening let's just say. She actually said I bet you fired a lot of guns and your right handed. I said yup. 6k later I can hear fine.My hearing is significantly lower in my right ear. And I love big speakers and big iron amplifiers, and full orchestral at high volume (Wilson, Krell, etc.) but that should affect both ears. So, left with the 1000s of dove, duck 12 gauge, and a few .257 STW and many 300 WM fired at game.
Trust me, young ones, protect your ears. Hearing aids suck in the wind and clog with earwax.
