If I put foam in my right ear, I am deaf as a post. Left ear was done in an instant when a buddy shot with his barrel right next to it. "But it was a pintail". I knew right then I would be someday be old and still pissed about that..
I've had tetras for just shy of a year now. The only thing I don't care for is the mechanism for turning them on/off, you have to open the battery door to turn them off. Why they couldn't have made an on/off button or dial is beyond me. But other than that, they work and block out wind very well.

The tetras are good. I use them for upland mostly and the few duck hunts I go on. It takes a few minutes for my ears to adjust but after that I forget that they are there. I can still hear a bird flush almost as loud as if it was naked ear.
Anything high volume the best you can get is the custom molded.

I'll be getting my son some nicer molded hearing protection.
I'm just going to live with my tinnitus that I've had for years.
I am paying the price from shooting alot in my younger years without ear plugs. Almost deaf in my left ear and not much better in my right.
Gettin old is for pussies! AND MY NEW TRUE people say like Capt. Tom >>>>>>>>>/
"Wow, often imitated but never duplicated. No one can do it like the master. My hat is off to you DRDUCK!"
my left has been gone, I doesn't bother me that bad. If you think I'm not paying attention to someone it's probably because I can't hear if it's in a crowd, not because I'm an asshole if you're thinking that.. but I don't care you if think that.
I bought these a few months ago. Great customer service. I have the in canal ones. They’re also blue tooth. https://otoprotechnologies.com/
Go Tigers!!!
I remember when I could still hear tinnitus in my left ear..
Strike that. I still can. Blends right in with the right one which screams 24/7..
i ignore all the sounds/voices in my head
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Right handed shooters usually lose the left ear hearing first. The act of shouldering the gun and putting your right cheek to the stock protects the right ear. Some.
Now, when you have a gun just go off near either ear, you're screwed. I can name the 3 times I know most impacted my hearing.
I now have a pair of hearing aids made by a company out of Germany called Widex. They interact with my phone. But now I can hear crap I would rather not hear.
It's not enough to simply tolerate the 2nd Amendment as an antiquated inconvenience. Caring for the 2nd Amendment means fighting to restore long lost rights.
Being a birder with bad ears is very frustrating. I wish I could go back in time and kick my own butt for not taking better care of my hearing.
