Walkers ear buds, and they also have a slim line ear muff that works well if that's the type one prefers

I started using Pro Ears Gold. Bought them on evil-bay. I like them better than the "stick-in the ear" style (personal preference)

I like the Walker Razor and the Walker rope. The Razor has a high 31NRR and the Rope has 27 NRR. Both are bluetooth that will let you use it on a phone or computer but they will not pare with each other that I was hoping so I could hear my Wife when she is spotting for me right through the two units. But these two switch so fast that I can hear range commands and my spotter. In fact they don't take the back seat to my high priced hearing aids. :D
If I need extra quieting when someone starts shooting a ported rifle I can put cans over the sets.

My ear canals are shaped so that they well not except any plug type device as they will kick right back out even the mold in ear plugs so I have to have a head set type. My current Impact "Sports" work wonderfully well for me.

Alternative ... have your hearing aid provider set different channels for decibels. Channel 3 on my hearing aids are set to cut out noise levels above 80 decibels

Just ask a hearing aid provider for the name of any multi channel new ones. Mine are a pair of old Rexton’s

My first post.
I like MSA Supreme PRO-V ear protection. They are pricey. I have used them for years. They are waterproof, slim size, and get them with the ear gel inserts makes them comfortable to wear for extended times. Hearing range commands is not a problem.
