What kind of hearing protectors are you using? Foam plugs that you insert into your ear canal? Or are your hearing aids such that you can’t wear protective muffs either? I have the Howard Leight Impact Sports and with the volume cranked up, I can hear much more than I could otherwise hear. Actually, normal noise levels were really loud.

I had the regular non amplified ones.
But I couldn’t use them.
ALL hearing aids will feedback when the entire ear is covered; no getting around it.
So the aids come out; (no earplugs either)
BUT I am practically deaf without the hearing aids.
Thus my question as to how much amplification the electronic ear protectors provide.
Will they amplify enough so I can hear the range instructor, but attenuate the shooting noise enough so I don’t lose what’s left of my hearing?
