I primarily use Howard Leight ear muffs but these Silencios are very good too Ear muffs are for girls. What? Plus they probably flare birds...  Do those come in Camo?

I suggest a pair of these. A few fella's from a "special" military organization turned me onto them. Very comfortable, around $14-$25 on Amazon, a no pesky batteries. I believe Academy also sells them in the hearing protection section. Surefire EarPro Sonic Defenders: They protect your hearing without interfering with your ability to hear routine sounds or conversations. Their fitted design provides a Noise Reduction Rating of 24dB. Sounds, at safe levels, are allowed to pass through into the ear canal, while potentially harmful noises (above 85dB) are reduced. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004DH65OG/ref=twister_dp_update?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I have Tinnitus also and, according to my ENT, am borderline for a hearing aids now. Besides shooting, I grew up in construction and worked for a company for a while that had 14 fans blowing to help keep air moving. That and loud rock & roll music in my youth has probably done me in.
I agree, the earmuffs get hot, especially early in the season here in Texas. Bad enough using them when mowing & trimming my yard in the summer. I have gone to using the foam plugs when bird hunting for the same reason as Guy. They are cheap, they do work, and I can still hear my hunting buddies yell “bird” or “rooster”.

Why are you making fun of my electronic headgear? You're just jealous.

Inexpensive, comfortable and work well for what they cost.
