When shooting clays I always use either molded plugs or some kind of baffle plugs.
I never use hearing protection when hunting as it covers the sound of game moving through the leaves/tall grass or forest floor litter. I need to hear those sounds. Now that I am permanently dependent on hearing aids I rarely use plugs as my hearing aids are Bluetooth operated and I can set them to reduce loud noises. .

Custom molded earplugs when shooting clays. Nothing when hunting, as Dean said.

I've used EAR Customized Hearing Protectors for more than 10-12 years. They enhance hearing under normal conditions and degrade loud noise like gunshots. I use these for hunting and target shooting. Can't say enough about my satisfaction. Only down side is the cost.

99% of my shooting these days is on a trap field. I use foam ear plugs with the highest noise reduction rating. When used correctly, they are hard to beat and I buy them in bulk. Ear muffs get in the way. I tried the custom molded earplugs for years and they never seemed to work for me for long.

When I was in the Army 60 years ago, I stuffed used up cigarette filters in my ears. Today, my ears are one of the few body systems which still work well

I have used "Sound Gear" by Starky for over 10 years. I find these to be excellent for sporting clays and hunting. I also used ESP in the past and like the Sound Gear units a little better.

Like Bob, I use EAR electronic plugs and love them. I bought them when the Vintage Gun Cup was still in Sandanona, probably 20 years ago. I picked up a set of AXIL electronics last year to use as a backup and once you learn how to use them they are not as good as the EAR but then again didn't cost nearly as much. I wear mine target shooting and hunting.

I have used ESP America hearing protection for the past 18 or so years. Not cheap, but durable, comfortable and outstanding customer service.
