My problem is that age and years of assorted loud noises have reduced my hearing to the point where I have to wear an aid. This is fine for around the house etc. but is useless at the range where the last thing I need is general sound amplification.
So at the range I leave the hearing aid at home and wear ear muffs or plugs -these are fine for gunshots but leave me deaf to range commands or conversation. To converse with anyone I normally lift the protection on one ear, which is a guarantee that someone will cut loose with a 44 mag or 357 on the adjoining range! This does me little good.
What I need is something that will amplify normal conversation and range commands but will cut out or substantially reduce gunshot noise. I am considering electronic ear muffs and am looking specifically at the Peltor Tactical. Comment and advice will be welcome.
