Any Reccomendations for Electronic Hearing protection?

[Good Guy]

I'm in the market for some new hearing protection. Particularly interested in the electronic varieties. Any advice or suggestions? What about the electronic types that fit in your ear like a hearing aid? Any good? Thanks

From what I've heard (pun intended), muffs protect the mastoid from sound and therefore are preferable to any "in-ear" device.

The best I've heard of is Peltor.

You might do a search on Peltor - we had a long thread some months ago that discussed many different brands.

Also, you might get a more thorough response in the Gear and Accessories forum.

In my experience, the very best in electronic hearing protection is Pro-Ears. They use Dynamic Sound Compression that eliminates the annoying clipping you'll get in Peltors, Silencios, etc., They are a little more expensive, but worth it.

Check them out at www.pro-ears.com (I am not a distributor or otherwise affiliated with ProEars or Ridgeline.)
