The best hearing protection.

My dad has hearing loss, and so does his brother. You don't want it.  I've tried headphones, which put too much pressure on my head for comfort, and they aren't practical for hunting.  The micro buds, just foam, can slide out, take a while to put in, and aren't that effective. They are also thought to be highly disposable and thus end up in the environment. Short of my own  natural plugs  the best hearing protection for speed, protection, and a long-lasting secure hold is one with a rigid inner spine lined with foam. The ones shown came with a headband, which reached around the head, which was too irritating, as it would get caught up, and when it did, the sound would transfer through to my hearing, and it acted as a distraction. I removed the band, briefly wet the bud, and slip it right into the ear. These buds are not disposable. Just wash them and reuse them.
