I wear BTE (behind the ear) hearing aides. That I remove when I'm using my hearing muffs. When I take out my hearing aide I can't hear myself fart must less someone talking > X2 with the muffs on. At a match I have a problem hearing the range commands, SO I'm thinking of buying some of the electronic Noise cancelling type muffs that amplifies normal sounds .
Just wondering who has used them ,what you think and what brand
thanks

I've got a pair of cheap ones, maybe in the $30 range. They work great for their purpose, but I'm not sure it would help in your situation. What I hear is a real tinny sound but not real amplified. Then when a shot goes off they just cut out everything for a second or two. Maybe a more expensive set would work better, but I don't know.

the Tinny sound is some what normal when I first got my hearing aides they had that sound to me.(and they cost big money) one pair I was looking at has a Volume control it think they were Cadwell around $40.

Maybe the same ones I have. I guess I would try em and if they don't work for you, get your money back.

That's good to know. Mine just have one volume control and aren't real comfortable over my shooting glasses.

Buy a set of the Peltors. 7 in the model number. They amplify and have excellent sound quality. They cut out and have good db reduction. They are in the$150 range but worth every penny. They use one 9 volt battery. I also have a set of the thinner Peltors with the 6 in the model number and you couldn't give me a pair of them.

I've shot next to you at a couple of matches... you may not hear yourself fart, but I sure do!

Peltor Tactical 7 electronic muffs. They are the best shooting accessory I've ever bought.
