Ear/hearing protection

[IW1978]

What does everyone use? I usually just use foam plugs or some pressure-gradient plugs when hunting. I use both plugs and ear muffs when shooting clays. Would love some recommendations.

I have used molded plugs for many years for shotgun shooting. I use the molded plugs and muffs for rifle and pistol. The molded plugs can be fitted at home from kits is that's what you want to do.

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.
