I use Decibullz filters. Work great at 31 NRR for dangerous sound levels but allow normal hearing for low level sounds.

Etymotic. They have a really good NRR when used with the included foam ear tips. Best hearing protection I used indoors when shooting my open gun.
I Thought I would try a set of the AXIL GS Extreme , so far they have worked well for me , have bluetooth and hearing amplification of 6x they work independent of each other with the foam ear pieces it is rated at 29 NRR, with bluetooth turned off and I think 23 with bluetooth turned on, I tried it with Full auto 11.5" barrel Registered reciever AR un suppressed and worked well with M855 ammo. Haven't tried yet with 300 Norma Mag Ackley with 5 port brake yet , in a few days hopefully that will put them to test.

Going to a hearing aid place and having a custom mold of your ear makes a difference, I brought in some walkers and had this done, worked pretty well, I still default to msa muffs most times
Can you point me in that direction
Hearing Loss Through Bone Conduction
If a patient wears earmuffs in combination with custom made earplugs, can you still get hearing loss through bone conduction (through the skull) when shooting a variety of guns? What is the rate of attenuation from external noise to the cochlea through bone conduction?

www.officer.com Kinda makes sense if bone conduction headphones work. That is why I think over the ear protection is best for really loud guns or indoor shooting.
Yeah I’m not arguing I just couldn’t find a decent read and I’ve been in the market for new ear pro.Hearing Loss Through Bone Conduction

I wish I would have taken the ear protection thing a little more seriously. It sucks having my ears ring all the time.
That’s what I’m gathering
Ottos have been great for me.

I use ESP Dynamics along with Sordin Pros. After experiencing hearing loss in both ears along with constant tinnitus I decided I better take care of what hearing I have left. Mother was totally deaf and saw first hand how loss of hearing impacts one's life. Expensive but a good investment.
ESP but the upfront cost is about 2k-2.5k

At outdoor ranges with no big caliber brakes rifles next to me I wear only Sonic Defenders. Indoor ranges or with a braked rifle next to me I throw Howard Leight Impact Sports on top of the Surefires.
I have also had great luck with the AXIL gs extreme's, I would definitely recommend them. I ordered mine directly through AXIL and I think I paid $130, they were on sale at the time.
