[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1208045, member: 14204"] I know this is an older thread but the next hunting season will be here before we know it. I spent the 1st 10 years of my USAF career in the flightline where the noise level is 120dB and up. Not sure if they still used the same PPE but we used to foamies + earmuffs. My hearing took a dive due prolonged exposure to loud noises but when I left the flightline in 1996, it improved significantly. Not the perfect solution for your situation but I use a balaclava (IIRC, I paid $10 for it a few years ago) on spot and stalk hunting, it works like cupping your hands over your ears and still allow you to hear the game.

Something to ponder: Not often or many shots, but I practice without hearing protection too ... for my CCW. :):Dgun) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
